Yes, they'll hold it in their client account against all future payments including the big one!

Yes, that's my understanding already.

I have suggested that if we want to avoid the FH's condition we should just enfranchise under the 93 Act. There are also some commercial units involved and...

Thanks.

Alledgedly it could be a 'condition' (=bribe?) to allow the management co. to buy the freehold!

I say it should be done inder the leasehold reform act and then no conditions needed.

Sorry not clear now...my fault, I didn't mean the rental tenants I meant those unit owners/lessees, or their successors, of the plots originally identified on the headlease.

Lawcruncher says 100%...

It strikes me that the vendor deliberately withheld the Section 20 notice so as to stop you dropping your price by £6000.

It also strikes me the your solicitor failed you by not finding the same...

Hi, My recent purchase has a TPO in place since 1975 and lists seven trees and one group of trees (cupressus would you believe!)covered by the TPO. Of those trees listed only two individual trees...

Can a headlease be varied without the knowledge or consent of sub-lessees?

If it needs consent does it need 100% consent/agreement?

You'll need 100% leaseholder agreement before you'll get a variation on the lease so very unlikely you would get it.

I don't think the two year rule applies for enfranchisement anymore. It applies to houses but not flats as far as I know. There are two separate Acts for these two categories.

Doesn't listing involve a grade of listing? I thought Grade 1 was all of it including the insides but Grade 2 is just external appearance for example it's facade.

I think you'll find the rentcharge, on a freehold property, is effectively similar to a service charge on a leasehold property...but with none of the legal controls in place.

Also aren't they...

And the translation is...?

Leasehold property needs more than just pp, it' not your building to change! You'll need the freeholder's permission and they may not be keen or give permission. Could cost more than a simple window...

Basically you have broken the Law!

Are you sure you can buy the freehold if it's sitting on leasehold land? Surely it's ultimately leasehold on a very short lease.

(Must be really cheap for anyone to even consider it!)

Does the lease have anything about creating regulations for the care and comfort of the leaseholders or something similar?

If so then perhaps you could add a regulation about noise from flooring.

Do you charge VAT on your rent then?

It is normal practice to fit an air vent to a 'redundant' chimney to stop damp issues caused by stagnat air flow. It is also good practice to fit some form of chimney cap, ventialted of course, to...

THe agent usually sends a confirmation of the offer and its acceptance to the seller's solicitor. I usually ask for a copy for my own information when I sell. This will have the names of all parties....

Maybe your new neighbours would like gas too and you could share the cost of the supply main?

If you have a look at the above mentioned website there is loads of guidance and help there.

You need to watch what they apply for next! They may eventually get longer hours and late opening and booze/music licence til all hours if you don't raise opposition to it as soon as possible. It...

Door closers are no longer required on fire doors in a private residential property. Not sure about HMOs or other uses.

Ideally you should create a fire protected escape route from top to bottom,...

I thought it was common practice to rent out an unused garage or parking space. Has our world become so petty as to revert to LVT over something so trivial?

You better re-read that contract and see what it says about charges and their payment.

It should also be on your tile at the Land Registry in some form or other.
