Plenty Fulwell leasehold flats will have a service charge for maintenance of the building levied by the freeholder. If you buy the apartment you will have to pay this amount, normally quarterly during the year.

There will also be a rentcharge to be met yearly, this is usually not a exorbitant amount, say around £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it could be prohibitively expensive.
