    Estate Agents are not legally trained so they may not be able to answer your queries.

    These are questions for your solicitor, but I believe you haven't got that far yet.

    Perhaps the mews house itself is freehold, but the outside area in which it stands may be shared with other properties and the upkeep of said outside areas is managed by a managing agent. The outside area, i.e. communal gardens/parking etc are maybe owned by the freeholder/landlord and they 'lease' the land/parking to you and the other properties for your use, but you do not own this part.

    OK Tiglet2, thanks.

    That's right, i'm going to have a look tomorrow and ask the EA some questions, before i deciding if i'm taking it further.

    I'm going to ask if the Freehold & Leasehold are up for sale and owned by the same person plus what the Managed Freehold pertains to.

    Thanks
