“it always seems impossible until it’s done.” - Nelson Mandela
if you’re a leaseholder, do this!
understand what’s in your lease agreement
many managing agents don’t charge in accordance to what’s written in your lease. ALL service charges MUST relate to works and services that are specified in the lease. all demands on invoices MUST be issued in accordance to the lease (i.e. annual reconciliation).
has the invoice been issued correctly? does it match what’s in your lease?
get rid of under-performing management with RTM
if your management company isn’t up to scratch, you can align with your fellow leaseholders to remove them from managing duties. this involves going through a Right to Manage (RTM) process. leaseholders with RTM see a significant decrease in unknown costs and service charges.
if you don’t have 50% support or know where to start, speak to one of our experts.
reform act: how long until leaseholders see change?
what about….?
exclusion of existing leaseholders, since the Act primarily addresses future lease agreements?
regulating property managers, to tackle unfair service charges and poor management?
fire safety costs, to protect leaseholders from historical fire safety remediation costs?
forfeiture of leases, where a leaseholder can lose their home?
complex enfranchisement rules, which can make it just as difficult to buy the freehold?
implementation delays and uncertainty during secondary legislation before the Act to come into effect?
