Being a leasehold owner you are frequently at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to daily issues like the cleanliness of the communal areas. Enquire of other tenants what they think of their management. Finally, investigate as to the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the managing agents and specifically how they are spending that money. Best to be warned whether fixing the lift or some other major work is due shortly to be shared amongst the leasehold owners and will dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or necessitate a one off payment.
