Reply to Voting Rights and Required Percentages

by ash72

Without seeing all paper work it would be incorrect to categorically state anything, the best thing is to speak with the conveyancing solicitor (either the one you instructed at the time of purchase) or a new one to go through all the documents to clarify the details, some leases will have detailed...

Voting Rights and Required Percentages

by Arizona

Good Morning. I'm brand new to this site so I apologise if this question is in the wrong section.

My wife and I live in a self contained apartment in a converted old house. There are five apartments in total, occupied by five separate couples. We are all leaseholders and we collectively,...

Reply to Section 61 and my Landlords rights for an order of possesion

by sgclacy

Realistically, a commercial minded organization would, before incurring significant legal costs making an application, have nothing to lose by approaching the lessee and being prepared to offer slightly than the market price. Nobody will know of course what will happen, as it is some 55 years into the...

Landlord refusing to do any maintenance or repairs. Next step advice please?

by rebel999

I own a flat on a leasehold from JLP. Last year they appointed a new agent whose initial begins with 'C.' Since they took over the so-called management in August last year, they have done nothing and ignored emails and complaints from the tenants in the 8-apartment block in Fulham. The building is run...

by Gordon999

If you want repairs done on your building , you should consider setting up RTM company to take over the service charge account from the freeholder.

You need to contact and get support from leaseholders of 4 other flats. You can find information on RTM from www.lease-advice.org

Reply to Freeholder failure to maintain

by Catastrophiser2020

And further to above, if service charges are paid, is it still possible to argue about them later and seek refund if insufficient evidence is produced by FH?
If so can this be done via FT tribunal?
And how to enforce proper accounting of service charges in the future? And proper management?...

Reply to Freeholder failure to maintain

by Catastrophiser2020

Thank you

The freeholder also appears to have little regard for statutory requirements with regard to service charges - I receive demands for sums of money intermittently, not annually, and not requested formally in accordance with legal requirements. He fails to respond to requests for...

Reply to Landlord refusing to do any maintenance or repairs. Next step advice please?

by Macromia

Firstly, this site discourages mention of freeholders/managing agents in any way that might allow them to be recognised - so your post may well be edited by a moderator at some point, and you should refer only to 'freeholder/landlord' or 'managing agent'.

What do you mean...
