Has anyone had any experience with owning a leasehold property of which Southwark Council is the freeholder, but not in a council housing situation? I'm on the verge of putting an offer on a flat in ED which is in this situation and, being a cautious first time buyer, I wondered whether this was something that was likely to throw up issues during the conveyancing process or in the future (or, conversely, might be a good thing). Any thoughts or experiences would be very welcome.
