Whilst "resident warden" is clear, I am not sure that in the context of sheltered accommodation "residential warden" can be taken to mean something other than a resident warden. "Residential" is not a word I would use to describe a person. If the warden has until recently...

In that case there can be no legal basis for requiring reimbursement....

Does your tenancy agreement say anything about paying professional fees? If it does, please quote the clause in full,

[Lawcruncher]

"full management services 10.8% (9% +VAT) of the gross rent"

If there is no rent there is no fee.

Basically, if the landlord cannot unreasonably withhold consent no premium is fair because when the lease ends the landlord gets the value of the improvement. If he also gets paid a premium he gets a double benefit.

Since the covenant does not restrict user or building, there is no mechanism for it to be removed under section 84 of the Law of Property Act 1925.

As there is no restriction on the register relating to a transfer there is nothing to stop you from transferring the property to another without...

"Adjacent" is not the same as "adjoining". "Adjacent" does not imply touching, only nearby. If there is a green verge between the edge of the pavement and the fence, then the fence is almost certainly going to be adjacent to the highway. If the verge is part of the highway...

Ir depends what the user and alteration clauses say. Please set them out in full,

The ones I use make tiny holes which are only visible if you look for them....

More control freakery.

Adhesive strips and press-in hooks are available which do not damage walls. I have used press-in hooks and the minute holes they leave are barely perceptible....

If and so long as the tenancy is an assured tenancy any provisions relating to termination do not apply....

I think this is a case where a casual reading gives the impression of ambiguity but a careful reading indicates that it is not and that notice can be given before the six months expire. As has been said, in any event the reading most favourable to the tenant is the one a court must go for.

Yes, assuming she is entitled under the intestacy rules.




As per Mrs Mug....

No. You can though offer them the freehold at a price they cannot refuse.

At law, no; in equity, it ought to.

By "at law" I mean according to what strictly ought to be the case. When the property was bought the agreement that father and girlfriend made was that on the death of the first to die the survivor would become the sole owner. What strictly...

[Lawcruncher]

If the property was held as joint tenants there are two possibilities. One is that the girlfriend died first in which case on her death the father became sole owner. The other is that the father died first in which case on his death the girlfriend became sole owner.

The first thing to do...

Paragraph (b) does not read quite right. Are you sure you have quoted it correctly?

[Lawcruncher]

"...and put his then girlfriend on the title register"

Was the property solely in her name or in both names? If in both names, was the property held as joint tenants or tenants-in-commmon?

Was the father really paying a mortgage for 40 years?

[Lawcruncher]

I do not think it does. The simple fact is that not everyone can keep on increasing profit because there is not enough cake to go round. Taken to its logical conclusion if one person gets to own everything (unlikely but nevertheless the implied outcome of what you say) things will come to standstill....

Is there a restriction on the register preventing a transfer without some sort of confirmation that the covenant has been complied with?
