Right to Manage

Leaseholders of blocks of flats (as well as converted properties) have a right in most circumstances to acquire the management of their building. The process is however complicated and, if not carried out correctly, can result in a failed claim. We advise both landlords and tenants on Right to Manage applications and can deal with the majority of the process on a fixed-fee basis. Please do telephone us for a quote.

Missing Landlords

Missing landlords can include not only landlords who are simply untraceable but also companies which may have been dissolved and multiple freeholders where perhaps one or two of them cannot be traced. We have considerable experience to guide you through the process of acquiring your freehold or to resolve the issue concerning the missing person in a cost-effective way. We will be more than happy to discuss your situation with you and to run through the likely costs of the various alternatives at an early stage.

Tribunal Appointment of Managers

Sometimes even well-intentioned managers, whether they are individuals, companies or managing agents, get it wrong. If the matter truly cannot be resolved, then a Tribunal has the power to appoint managers in certain situations, provided the pre-action procedure is followed. We can guide you through this complex area, having successfully applied for the appointment of managers on numerous occasions as well as defending applications for the appointment of managers.

If you wish to pursue such a matter or you are faced with this type of application, then please do speak to our experienced team at an early stage for a detailed cost estimate and advice as to the way forward.

I will not hesitate to recommend you or to use you in the future as your services have been super-efficient and so exceedingly friendly and helpful.

We really appreciate your handling of this as do the lessees. They are so delighted that we engaged with you.
