Reply to Section 61 and my Landlords rights for an order of possesion

by sgclacy

Realistically, a commercial minded organization would, before incurring significant legal costs making an application, have nothing to lose by approaching the lessee and being prepared to offer slightly than the market price. Nobody will know of course what will happen, as it is some 55 years into the...

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

by Gordon999

If you want repairs done on your building , you should consider setting up RTM company to take over the service charge account from the freeholder.

You need to contact and get support from leaseholders of 4 other flats. You can find information on RTM from www.lease-advice.org

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.' Since they took over the so-called management in August last year, they have done nothing and ignored emails and complaints from the tenants in the 8-apartment block in Fulham. The building is run...

Reply to Freeholder failure to maintain

by Catastrophiser2020

And further to above, if service charges are paid, is it still possible to argue about them later and seek refund if insufficient evidence is produced by FH?
If so can this be done via FT tribunal?
And how to enforce proper accounting of service charges in the future? And proper management?...

Reply to Freeholder failure to maintain

by Catastrophiser2020

Thank you

The freeholder also appears to have little regard for statutory requirements with regard to service charges - I receive demands for sums of money intermittently, not annually, and not requested formally in accordance with legal requirements. He fails to respond to requests for...

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

by Macromia

Firstly, this site discourages mention of freeholders/managing agents in any way that might allow them to be recognised - so your post may well be edited by a moderator at some point, and you should refer only to 'freeholder/landlord' or 'managing agent'.

What do you mean...

Reply to Section 61 and my Landlords rights for an order of possesion

by Macromia

That's quite possible - but it would depend on the freeholder and on whether or not they think that any leaseholders will refuse to sell voluntarily (I doubt that it would cost much more to get court orders requiring several leaseholders to sell than just one)....
