questions for buying property

spezial

I have few questions that I can't find a definite answers about property buying:

if I buy a property with 100 years leasehold and I want to immediately extend it, the freeholder needs to agree for this? so I can be refused to do so?

and when it says maisonette, it means house or flat or both?

A maisonette is defined here http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/maisonette
and a more detailed explanation here http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-maisonette.htm

good article, thanks!

is it possible to achieve a better price by negotiating directly with the landlord and bypassing the agent?

Any changes to the structure will require the freeholder's consent, regardless of the remaining length of the lease. And they'll expect a fee for such consent, if granted.

Another little trip into fantasy land, methinks!

so yet another thread from the troll posing a vague one liner already covered on an earlier thread and which he could have answered himself via google

It's great how spezial's threads drift off into a surreal parallel universes:

I'm not even sure if the humour is intentional.

I read it as extending the property, not the lease!
Why does he want an extension of a hundred year lease?

I read them just for a giggle

can you tell me please what is the situation with resident's parking?

I am thinking to buy a property in Romford. But it is far from the centre which has gym, station, pub, etc. So I will have to drive from my house maximum 1 mile to get there. But where can I park there? I exclude the parkings which are very expensive. Can I park in the near by streets? What if they are for residents only? Am I considered a resident? Can I park for free? Are the streets having empty spaces? Can you advise me please?
