Purchasing a flat with a garage

[TROOPER88]

Hi
I am negotiating on a leasehold flat in Surrey which comes with a single garage in a block.

Would it be possible to sell the garage separately if I was to become the owner?

My solicitor would naturally look into it as I'm guessing the land registry would be involved?

The garage could well be worth circa 20k but does not add anything like this value to the property value.

Thank you

Depends on the lease really. A lot of those garage blocks have seperate agreements about such things.

Thank you

So what you suggest is that in the lease it could read something like:

Garage only ever to be sold with the flat?

Thanks

It could be something of the like. I had a house once which was actually freehold and included an en-block garage freehold too. But there was an overrding covenant about not selling seperately or renting to anyone else etc.

A great help, thank you.

I will have a look at the lease should things progress.

Thank you
