October 26 2011

There are 1.8m leasehold properties in the UK and flat owners are losing out to the tune of £700m a year because of excessive fees and hidden costs contained within their service charges.

A lack of transparency and no independent regulation means there’s very little pressure on these agents to offer leaseholders a fair deal.
