Dispute concerning the block of flats you live in or manage?

When it comes to our homes, property disputes can get very complicated, both legally and emotionally.  We give practical and proactive advice to property managers, freeholders, flat owners, management companies and managing agents in relation to blocks of flats.

Our services include:

Service charge recovery and lease enforcement: We take action to recover any outstanding service charges, ground rent, or other payments owed by flat owners to the management company.

Collective right to purchase the freehold: If you and your fellow leaseholders want to take control of your building, we can assist you in exercising your collective right to buy the freehold from the landlord.

Collective right to manage the block: If you’re dissatisfied with the current management company or agent, we can advise and guide you on your right to manage the property yourselves.

Lease extensions: Protect the value of your asset by extending your lease or collectively buying the freehold of your building with your neighbours through enfranchisement.

Variations of leases: Whether you’re a landlord or tenant, if you need to renegotiate the terms of an existing lease, we can help.

Lease forfeiture: We provide guidance on the forfeiture and repossession of long leasehold flats.

Tribunal and court representation: Our team is skilled in representing clients in tribunals and courts to ensure their rights are protected.

At Laceys we understand the challenges that can arise when dealing with lease issues in blocks of flats. Our team of experienced professionals are here to help you navigate through these problems with the utmost care and expertise. Contact our team today to see how we can help.
