It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Ickenham to discover Conveyancing in Ickenham in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the complete property - which is clearly preferable. Do check with your conveyancing practitioner but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is attempting to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring your apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt as a result of lack of insurance.
