Thanks Kilty
I think that the managemnnt company will advise that they must apportion according to the lease. I think it is going to be a huge task to get the leases changed. I probably need legal advice and I may not be able to afford that. I might try to contact a few other 1 bed unit owners and see if we could share the cost of the original legal opinion.
One thing I have learned: I bought into these new build apartment blocks in UK for buy-to-let near universities. It was meant to be a passive investment. The reality is that while cccupancy is good, yield is terrible, value is down to god knows what, and they take a lot more work and headaches than I realised. My only consolation is that I would be even worse off had I invested in the Irish market.
Thanks
