You can try searching the Land Registry to see who owns the property and how much the charge is. It costs about £3 to download the details, hope that helps! https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-property-and-land/search-the-register

Legally it looks like you are responsible for the entire duration of the tenancy unless you have a break clause in your contract or can get your Landlord to agree to end your tenancy. However, if you move out and the Landlord signs a tenancy agreement with new tenants, you won't have to continue paying as your tenancy will be over. https://www.gov.uk/private-renting-tenancy-agreements/how-to-end-your-tenancy

Make sure there are as few issues with the property as possible such as getting boilers/services checked and certified, fixing any leaks, clearing out the gutters and fixing any damp/cracks within your budget. This won't add value exactly but will make the property more appealing and help stop the process dragging out later on in the sale when problems come to light in surveys or during the mortgage process.

It's worth talking to your surveyor as they have to recommend everything that needs looking at in a formal report but can often give you more insight into the urgency or otherwise in a more informal chat.

This is my biggest problem with living in a flat. The drivers won't even come into the carpark never mind to the downstairs door or use the lift! The postman always manages to get the mail through the front door. -
I live on the top floor of a large block of flats built in 2007 and was very nervous about noise when we moved in, turning down the bass on the TV etc. A couple of weeks in we found out our neighbour was having regular band practice next door and we hadn't heard a thing! By far the quietest place we've lived, despite having three immediate neighbours.

The land registry services can be accessed through the gov.uk government website. It does cost a small fee for the title plan and to find out who owns the property, but anyone with an email address and bank card can use it.
