by Macromia

A right to manage company is not always the best way forward.

Landlord refusing to do any maintenance or repairs. Next step advice please?

by rebel999

I own a flat on a leasehold from JLP. Last year they appointed a new agent whose initial begins with 'C.'

If that same commercially minded organisation already knew that one of the leaseholders they needed to move was determined to stay put, it may instead make commercial sense for them to one offer the market price for all flats, and then put the additional...

Reply to What can I do about my right of way.

by Macromia

You can write to the leaseholder (presumably the tenants landlord) and ask them to ensure that the tenants respect your right of access.

Reply to Freeholder failure to maintain

by Macromia
