    The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the leaseholders have control and although a managing agent is usually retained where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders. Is the freehold owned jointly by the tenants? It would be wise to discover as much as possible concerning the company managing the building as they will either make your living at the property much easier or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day issues such as the cleanliness of the common parts.
