Hello,
I'd like to buy a little bit of land from the neighbouring property, to build an extension on. It's an unused corner at the bottom of their garden, and I don't think any of the occupiers would miss it.
Said neighbouring property happens to be enormous house that has been subdivided into 9 flats, each with their own leasehold. The freeholder is a commercial company, not located locally. I believe the leaseholders do not have a share-of-freehold arrangement.
I was thinking to write to the Freeholder to see if they'd be interested in selling me the land. But would they even be allowed to sell me part of the garden, because presumably the leaseholders have some rights too?
Not sure how to proceed - any advice greatly appreciated!
I don't much fancy having to negotiate with 10 parties...
Thanks in advance,
