by Tom-watts

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.

Thanks for all the brilliant advice!

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.
