Reply to S146 manipulation

by eagle2

The agent and the solicitor would definitely know what they were doing and have an idea of the costs involved. There are different ways of the agent being rewarded but obtaining proof is difficult. To be fair, the management company should be able to rely on advice given to it by an agent and it has...

Ground Rent review

by Century

United Scientific Holdings v Burnley Borough Council

Does this case mean that for a residential lease failure to give notice of GR increase during the review period doesn't matter? I.e review can be at any time, even after specified review date?

Reply to Would water ingress be considered nuisance in accordance with the lease

by Lawcruncher

For a claim in nuisance to succeed it would have to shown that the tenant of the flat above's actions caused the leak.

I do not understand the MA saying this is a flat to flat dispute. If the damage was accidental it should be covered by the block insurance. Insist a claim is made.
