The owners should definitely know this & it's something a solicitor only investigates once you've instructed him to act for you.
You can find out from the land registry if it's leasehold or freehold, it only costs a few pounds.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
What cattie said.
If it needs work and it's empty (hence I'm assuming the agent knows nothing) It's possible it's a repossession in which case the details may only be with their solicitors.
If you can research the Land Registry then it's time for a possible bargain?Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
