by RichardCardiff

I am the Freeholder of a property and the property has an single story extension which has a flat roof. The lease holder of the flat above had the lease amended before I purchased it so that he has the right of use of the flat roof. I converted the ground floor of the property and added a basement....

'Reasonable' ground rent collection charge?

by Benzo

Hi guys

We recently achieved RTM from our underperforming managing agents. We no longer pay our service charge to them. However our old managing agents still represent the freeholder, and so we still pay our ground rent to him via the old managing agents.

Following RTM, they've...

Reply to Flat Roof used as fire escape and right of way

by scot22

If OP sticks it out to court I suspect it will cost quite a few thousand.

Reply to Flat Roof used as fire escape and right of way

by Freeholder is king

I would say that the freeholder could put skylights in the roof as the top flat have never used the roof or am i missing...

Reply to 'Reasonable' ground rent collection charge?

by Section20z

Charging a percentage in your case would be unreasonable as some lessees would be paying more for exactly the same service
You stated the lease clause as being "the fees of the Lessor’s Managing Agents for the collection of the rents of the Flats in the Building AND for the general management...

Reply to Face to face AGM arranged?

by scot22

You are right. I just find things confusing !

My big concern would be the lack of notice. I am reasonably sure that no AoA would allow this.

Face to face AGM arranged?

We have been contacted today by our management company to say they are holding a face to face AGM in our car park on Wednesday evening with social distancing. This would be around 15 people minimum.

Reply to Face to face AGM arranged?

by jpkeates

The meeting would be allowed if it was for "work purposes", but it wouldn't be "work" for anyone other than the management committee.
"Business" or "Commercial" aren't exceptions....
