Reply to Share of Freehold - Roof Terrace Repair Cost Responsibility

by Lawcruncher

Oops! Even though you clearly state the contrary, for some reason I got the idea into my head that you owned the other flat. What does the lease of the other flat say about the roof terrace? Is it included in the demise or are they granted rights over it? Do they have access to it? Do they use it and...

Reply to Section 20 process

by AndrewDod

Indeed. Albeit that even this rather weak aspect of an already weak system of supposed "protection" of lessees is easily subverted. It is very often the case that the entity that controls the freehold also controls one or more of the leasehold entities - and under those common circumstances...

Power of Residents Management Company

by scot22

Obviously, directors are responsible for the running of the Company. If shareholders are unhappy with their actions do they have any legal ways to affect their decisions ? Obviously option to replace but this could be too late or no replacement available. Any insights appreciated.

Depending on the situation, that is often the only way - unless you are able to approach any of the directors informally and ask them to reconsider decisions.
Company decisions, which will include decisions concerning the service charges, will usually require voting by directors but in some cases...

You need to get hold of a copy of their lease (you should be able to purchase this from the land registry for about £7 - but make sure you do this via the government site, not the numerous sites that sell you the same for 3x the price), and check the details in both your lease and their lease.
