yes, but also you as leaseholders will all jointly own something of extra value, and you must be sure who will have control of the garage and who will control who you sell it to etc etc Scenario- someone gets permission to develop it- it becomes worth ?300k- 2 flat owners want to sell it and 2 don't - management issues - fall out etc etc. how is it held? if you well your flat- will ownership be tied up in the freehold- will someone else want to buy your flat for ?300k but not want to buy it for say ?375k inc the 1/4 share of the garage with planning consent ?
