In our block each flat is autimatically assigned one Director role on purchase of the property. The Articles state that in a Joint Tenancy, obviously only one can be the Director. In the case where they also occupy the flat, is their a norm for what happens if one of those joint tenants moves out and seperates from the other and the ownership is still shared. Should the Director role go with the occupying tenant first?
In a Joint Tenancy of a Leasehold, which has first right to be the Company Director?

The articles really say that the director has to be in physical occupation as their primary residence?? That would be most unusual and inappropriate.... What are the actual words of it if so?
I would have thought that in the case of joint ownership the joint owners will decide who takes that role and it is nothing to do with either the Company or on actual residency?
Furthermore you cannot assign someone to be a director of a company -- nobody can be forced to be a director (and some are excluded). They might have the automatic right, but that is different.

No. This is under company law, and you cannot force anyone to be a director of a company as a condition of being shareholder.
As I said
a) Some people are disqualified from being Directors. That does not disqualify them from having a share in a freehold-holding company.
b) It is sensible if someone knows a company is behaving illegally, immorally and dangerously AND if they cannot do anything about that from the inside, that they resign any directorship

A leaseholder should have the right to be a member and vote on matters. There cannot be an automatic right to become a director because as Andrew says some individuals are disqualified from acting and members cannot be forced to take on a role which they do not wish to accept or are incapable of accepting. In addition you cannot take away the members legal right to remove a director from office if that person is not acting in the members' best interests.

by LimplyHi all,
I am looking at extending my leasehold flat by adding a newbuild next to the loft (will be erected on top of the first floor). I have just asked my freeholder for the process to follow. In the past they have asked me to pay a "Landlord’s premium for the consent to be established...-

Reply to Freeholder Premium to consentby AndrewDodThe simple answer is no you can't do what you think you can. At the very least you would probably need to pay the FH at least 50% of the uplift in value of your property. The "not cutting timbers stuff" is not relevant to building something outside of your demise.
The FH might...-

Does this case mean that for a residential lease failure to give notice of GR increase during the review period doesn't matter? I.e review can be at any time, even after specified review date?-

Reply to Ground Rent reviewby Gordon999Residential property usually sold under 99 years or 125 years leases have ground rents which increases after every 33 years or 25 years as stated in the lease. The Burnley Council case does not seem to be under a 99 year or 125 year lease. ....

Reply to Freeholder Premium to consentby Gordon999Your lease is only a long term rental contract. You have no ownership in the building which belongs to the freeholder.
If you want to add a loft extension above the first floor, you should consider purchasing the freehold title first.-

Reply to Ground Rent reviewby AndrewDodI have not read the judgment but no notice is required for a residential ground rent increase that is specified in the lease. The FH does however need to invoice every ground rent request in the prescribed form -- so to at least that extent notice is given of the rate of rent requested at that time...
