Thanks fos333, we have been appointed by the director who is backing us. The next step is to call a meeting to have a vote on whether or not we’re going to keep the managing agents.

by 88xxHi all,
I purchased a leasehold in early 2022, all outstanding service charges and fees were settled by previous owner during the conveyance.

Reply to Perpetual leakby Laurasplogash72,
Thanks. I have no idea if other people in the building are complaining. I have a friend who's a conveyancer and she says that the leaseholders are well known nationally for charging high fees, dragging their feet with paperwork and basically scalping people without doing anything...-
