I'm sure you'll get solicitor's advice when the time comes, but another thing to watch out for with flats of this period is the length of the lease. As their website explains, Three Courts leaseholders embarked on a major buyout of their freehold a few years ago and, for various reasons, some of the flats seem to be on new long leases and some are old ever-shorter ones. That's not necessarily a problem, as it will be reflected in the purchase price, but it's worth looking out for. Some years ago we were going to buy a flat on this estate at an extremely bargain price, but we discovered it was on a very short lease and the previous freeholders wanted a substantial amount to extend it. With hindsight, it would probably still have been a good buy.
