It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Earley to discover Conveyancing in Earley in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the whole building - which is definitely preferable. You should contact your lawyer but it would seem that your property lawyer is looking to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed due to lack of insurance cover.
