Notes

* The decision on whether a surveyor’s inspection will be required rests with Hexagon

** Leaseholders and shared owners can request this themselves from the Land Registry. The fee for this is £7 for a paper copy and £3 for an electronic copy (at 2014). Hexagon does not hold copies of individual leases and therefore would have to obtain these from the Land Registry

*** Shared Owners are not permitted to sub-let their property. Leaseholders who own 100% of the equity in their property may be able to sub-let but must obtain Hexagon / Horniman’s consent first. The lease gives more info on the information and documents to be provided by the leaseholder
