consent to remortgage not given

29-06-2022, 20:31 PM

Hi, I had been accused by property management company (freeholder rep) of breach of lease on alterations made in the flat. I had independent expertise confirming that alterations were of non-structural nature and I was not in breach. I now want to remortgage but they refuse to give consent. Any advice on what can I do in such situation? I don’t have money to cover more of expensive legal costs and need to remortgage to be able to rent the flat out to make ends meet. Thanks in advance.

I doubt if your lease includes a clause stating that remortgage requires consent from the freeholder ??

Please check the wording in your lease ? Does the leaseholder require freeholder consent for subletting ?

Please post up the relevant clause for comment .

If the wording in the lease does not state the boiler belongs to the lessor ( freeholder), then you can replace it without seeking consent from freeholder. Sometimes replacing old boiler may be a necessity if spare parts are no longer sold.

If you believe consent is required for boiler...

by Gordon999

Ash72 is correct. Ground rent in arrears can only be recovered for last 6 years. The GR must be demanded and served with proper notice by the freeholder or agent or executor , otherwise payment is not due ( and you can refuse to pay interest) .

How many years remaining on the lease...

The boiler is a grey area for me. Surely I don’t need permission to replace it.

Under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is 6 years. This means that your landlord can only seek to recover ground rent going back 6 years. I would try and get in touch with the solicitor you were dealing with to see if the Freeholder has died etc.
