Aye, I just moved out of a freehold - paid £100 a year maintenance fees for the maintaining the grounds which a) they barely did and b) was in addition to council tax. And then charged £400 for a ‘moving pack’ when we sold - which as far as I can tell was a bunch of leaflets and publicly available documents
We had this when we moved. Never ever saw anybody carrying out maintenance etc. Its a fucking con

We've got a couple coming back for a second viewing today. Fingers crossed they're motivated by this potential lockdown and want to get an offer in.

We had second viewing this week but was offered £7000 lower than the asking price and as we've missed out on a couple of houses turned the offer down

Don't know what your asking price is but that doesn't sound like a low ball offer.

I would take that. I suspect that values will start to fall in the near future.

Leasehold, surely?
Nope, freehold. Those on leaseholds pay the same and more.

It's a dilemma as a couple of houses we were interested in have recently sold and Sod's law we can't see anything else around within our price range

Roughly £6000 on rent so there goes the stamp duty saving and not knowing what the market will be like next spring

I sold some property this year and am waiting for some form of 'market realignment' next year. Living in temp accommodation at the moment.

South West. Sellers down here are asking for crazy prices in my opinion. Prices seem to be inflated by more than the current stamp duty saving.

All those wealthy Londoners snapping them up so it makes sense to sell if you got a good price and sit tight until they hopefully come down in your area

Nope. Estate service charges and positive obligations to pay certain fees are common on freehold properties on new build estates.
I live in a freehold in a new build estate. We don't have it. What a con.
