Flat Management, lease extensions and freehold acquisition

As a flat owner you have many rights to protect you from your freeholder or its agent. These generally come under the following groups of rights:

1. Protection form unreasonable service charges.
2. The right to extend your flat lease by up to 90 years
3. The right to purchase the freehold in conjunction with the other owners
4. The right to take over the management of the block or house, again with the other owners – often the cheapest and simplest operation

We always suggest trying to work in a group of owners to reduce costs if possible.

As well as helping individual flat owners, we can assist the resident owned flat management company, either straight away, or after it has either aquired the freehold, or taken over under the rights to manage.
 

We will normally charge a flat annual fee for looking after the company, which would include updating it on changes in the law, acting as company secretary, filing accounts and annual returns, and just being available to answer questions. We would also attend the AGM occasionally, and always if there is potential trouble.
