Hello, I am in the process of purchasing a property and have found out that the Freeholder is Southern Land Securities. After reading some of the very troubling stories here about Southern Land Securities / Together Property Management (excessive fees for unnecessary works - essentially being cowboys) I am having doubts. We are still waiting for the contracts to be drawn up and I am yet to instruct a Surveyor. I wondered if anyone had any advice on how to proceed? It's a bit of a dream property for me, and as a first time buyer (and solo) I am fairly limited by my budget in terms of what/where I can buy. There are 5 other properties in the building, 2 are owner occupiers and the other 3 are rented out. I would be keen to establish RTM or even buy the freehold if I could get them on board, but I'm worried that I am setting myself up for years of stress if I proceed with this purchase, is there is anything I can do before contracts are drawn up I would appreciate the advice now. FYI the current vendor is extending the lease as part of the sale there might also be room to negotiate with the freeholders in this part of the transaction too. Thankyou!
