For something to actually be an opportunity it has to be beneficial to 'take it'.
Commonhold is not a genuine opportunity for anywhere near as many freeholders as you seem to think.

So, we agree on something...

Advice- New Agent Trying to Collect Previous service charges

robin123

I would like some advice please. There are 4 owners in a converted block of 4 flats. I have owned one on leasehold for about 12 years. The other owners have part of the freehold each. The previous two sets of agents have been terrible at managing the property. Due to various disputes, I was not invoiced...

Your opening post doesn't make it clear whether you have a share in the freehold company (it is possible for you to own a leasehold but not have a share in the company). Presumably you mean that all four leaseholders, yourself included, have equal shares of the freehold? This is important because if...

The outgoing director should have called a shareholder meeting to try and get a replacement director. The law is not very clear on how to resolve a lack of directors, but it is not up to the company secretary to appoint one. The best of a bad job would be for a shareholder meeting to have been called,...

Be nice to have the opportunity though.

Commonhold is not the answer to everything. We'd be foolish to think it was.
Houses should not be leasehold. In opening up that debate, it has shone a light on all the other issues of abusive freehold/leasehold practices....

Sorry, but Im still confused about my rights. The current agent was seeking directors because the last resigned at the same time as her flat sale went through, thus leaving the block without a director or secretary. The agent appointed could not act without a director. I was asked, and I responded,...

Your service charges are very low. You need to pay for surveys that haven't been done. Whether you need a new asbestos survey may depend when the last one was done.

Agents manage the service charge fund, and will inherit costs from the previous agent, so they will not be limited to recovering...

In the same way that it has been pointed out in another thread, the agent cannot remove a director, they also cannot appoint a director, so you should not be asking them to appoint you but rather asking the other director(s) to appoint you. The agent may also be contracted as company secretary, but...
