Reply to Common area outside of demise

by Lawcruncher

The buyer's solicitor has to be commended as he seems to have actually read the lease. He has seen the situation with regard to the strip and quite rightly asked himself if there is a problem. Going by the information supplied, he has unfortunately concluded that there is a problem where there does...

Reply to Purchasing Share of Freehold

by Lorimer

Agreed. If the freeholder does not want to sell you a share of the freehold then that is the end of the matter. You cannot force the issue....

Managing Agents Massively Screwed Up Section 42

by divadee

We are the freeholders to a block of flats. We own the freehold in a limited company.

Apparently one of the flats issued a Section 42 back in April with a date of July for any counter offers.

Our managing agents have only just told us about this TODAY and we are way out of...

Reply to Managing Agents Massively Screwed Up Section 42

by Section20z

Thanks for all the brilliant advice!

I will look into finding a trustworthy agent. Does anyone have any recommendations on companies? In London preferably.

Thanks again

Reply to Managing Agents Massively Screwed Up Section 42

by divadee

I just thought I would give an update.

We have spoken and instructed a solicitor this morning. We are basically screwed with regards to the timing out of the Section 42. So this means we have 2 legal cases going on.

The first that we just have to plod through with the statutory...
