Hello I'm hoping that somebody can help with a big headache that is causing my family. We have had many discussions, getting stressed, going round in circles and never really getting anywhere because as you read on, it's complex. I need some experienced bodies!
My other halves mother (OHM) has lived in a converted farmhouse (5 flats) for aprox 13 years. For the first 2 or 3 years everything was fine. Until the management company went into liquidation - this was around 8 years ago! The so called management company also owns the 2 bottom flats. I've tried doing a bit of research on this guy and it looks like he's had other comapnies that have gone into liquidation previous. I am guessing (although not confirmed) he owns the freehold of the property.
When this happened I believe other halves mom (OHM) helped set up another management company - this bit is abit hazy because this new company is also linked with the guy who's gone into liquidation. I say hazy because OHM can't remember it clearly. OHM is 60, living alone, working 40 hours a week and this situation has stressed her out for many years. She doesn't understand what the consequences are and that's why I'm hoping to help.
She is desperate to get out the property and has sold it 3 times - all occasions they have pulled out last minute due to this managment company issue.
Many people have tried to get information from the liquidation practitioner (apologies if that's not what they're called. The guy whos dealing with the liquidation on Management Companies behalf) over the years he has stopped responding to calls. On the grounds there is a farmhouse (converted) and 3 houses. The only information they have received is that there is a divorce dispute and the case is still ongoing.
There was a period of time where the 2 bottom flats (owned by Managment Company guy) had eviction notices all over the windows but his daughters would rip them off. Two daughters are still living in the properties.
When OHM had a new management company bottom flats (daughters) did not pay so this stopped.
So for several years there has been no management company. OHM and my boyfriend have done the maintenance work themselves out of their own pocket. The other flats are occupied but there's a couple who live in Italy 6 months a year and the flat at the top is rented (unoccupied currently) owned by a guy in Far East. So OHM is pretty much in this big building on her own. The two daughters come only weekends usually to have a party.
I'm so sorry to ramble!!
So I guess my question is where does OHM stand? Liquation practitioner adviced her to buy the freehold with the others but then was told by someone else not to. How on earth is she going to sell her flat and what are the implations with the managment company? What should she do?
