I'd be glad of feedback of experience of any of the different modes of managing a shared freehold -- eg, via a company, dormant or otherwise, or through a trust deed. Mine would be as owner/occupier of one of two leasehold flats in a converted house. Anything about specific problem areas would be of particular interest.

Have owned shared freeholds in the past. One was in a building with 4 flats and there was a company already formed when I bought. There was an extremely bossy person already running the company and I just let her get on with it. Nothing needed to be done when I was there though. The building was insured through the company in this instance.


Another time I owned a shared freehold with another flat. We both had 2 storeys. Even though I got on with the other owner really well, when it came time to paint the outside of the building she refused to do her part at the same time. I was on the lower two floors so just paid someone to come and do my bits front and back. I wasn't directly affected by her refusal until she decided to do her bit and then put scaffolding up all over the place and I had to deal with painting and sanding debris being rained down into my front and back garden. Luckily the roof never needed work doing on it, nor the foundations. We each had our own front doors btw. We also each insured our own flats.

    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
