What I find really shocking is that, apart from Amanda Gourlay on “law and lease”, and this article, there is absolutely no advice available for leaseholders about the new rules at all.
And even now, we are still seeing LVTs that will not accept letters by email, although in two weeks time…….

Comment on Imperial Hall buys freehold … but there’s still the mystery of the smashed caretaker’s toilet by Michael Epstein

Since i believe it is still the case that most politicians do have a genuine desire to help people, the lack of will thus far to protect the vulnerable who are subject to voracious freeholders sits at odds with the reason for entering politics.
In past times, any attempts to reform leasehold would routinely be blocked by the landed gentry. Latterly, it is my belief that it is fear of loss of value to pension funds and the banks that is holding up change. After all, if you were the government and you wanted to sell of a bank that was highly exposed to defaulting property debt, the last thing you would do is to introduce legislation that overnight halved the value of the freehold.

The statement from Shalim Ahmed totally misrepresents what went on in Imperial Hall.

Mr Ahmed fails to mention that:

- Sterling/Columbia unilaterally [DELETED ...]

- Sterling continued to demand [DELETED ...]

- Sterling continues to deliberately make [DELETED ...]

- Mr Ahmed’s statement that the service charges have increased by £100,000 since handover to the RTM Company must qualify as the biggest [DELETED ...] The service charge has not increased at all since the RTM company got rid of Sterling.

The abuse that we put up with from Sterling is a scandal. We do not want to see other leaseholders being subjected to the same sort of treatment from these people. Managing agents need to be regulated.

Well done you guys from Imperial Hall for standing up for your rights and exposing [DELETED ...]. The politicians need to do something about this.

Janet Entwistle,
You are the Chief Executive Officer of a company that allows this to happen to one of your “Customers” Instead of the twaddle announcing the Customer Charter telling us you have “captured what customers have said to us” how about treating these people with some decency, and instead of the psycho media babble CAPTURE THE SQUIRRELS AND DISMISS THE PROPERTY MANAGER THAT PUT THIS COUPLE THROUGH MONTHS OF MISERY!

The quality of these posts is just excellent. We are preparing our case and will have to face the LVT in its new guise, and this guide, with Amanda Gourlay’s, is the best there is. Not just for laymen. Our solicitor has found this very useful as well. Many thanks for going to all the trouble to write this.

Comment on Wibble, Wobble: why the Leasehold Advisory Service needs to be reformed by Ernest Hartland

Lease? What about Freehold Residents tied to a mixed development of Leaseholders and Freeholders, the former have all the Rights to opt to change the management company, but, we the Poor Freeholders appear to have nil rights, call that equality Mr Prisk? And that useless article Grant Shapps you predecessor!

PM won’t do anything apparently, but, he did do something for his constituents in Windrush Court!

Fed Up and Hacked Off with the whole darn business!

Congratulations to the RTM company of getting rid of these cowboy managing agents. Their behaviour is truly shocking! Hope Watchdog will pick up this story. Come on Anne Robinson.
