Jake0254

Hello

I’m buying it on shared ownership.

There is already legal precedent set by the court of appeals that unfair terms apply to long leases too....

Obtaining an address for servicing notices from my ex-landlord

zukias

If the landlord is a registered company, you can always use the company registered address.
