I am a director of a freehold management company for a small block of flats. We have a boundary wall with a footway leading to a large estate of 100s of flats. There are some problems with this boundary and it is not clear on our lease who owns it. If I order the title deeds for one of the many flats on the estate, is it likely to indicate the ownership of the wall? We are thinking of engaging a solicitor to escalate the issue, but I do not want to spend money on the solicitor doing a search that I can perfectly well do myself. Grateful for any advice.
