Moskovitz forfeits £400k Camden flat from 24-year-old woman ‘whose brother did not forward correspondence for two years’

September 15, 2019 By admin

Are a 24-year-old Canadian woman and her younger brother very likely to have a clue about English leasehold law and forfeiture? Of course, not leaving the post unopened over two years would have been a start …

London freeholder Israel Moskovitz has forfeited the London flat of a Canadian woman who declined to pay service charges and whose brother did not forward correspondence for two years.

Chloe Shum, now 24, was indignant about a water leak in the property and had returned to Canada owing service charges. Meanwhile, her brother, a student now aged 20, moved into the flat and omitted to open or forward any mail to her over the next two years.

Mr Moskovitz’s company Avon Ground Rents Limited obtained a county court ruling for £4,129.76 in September 2018. The court noted that Miss Shum had “not replied to the claim form”.

In February 2019 forfeiture and possession was granted to the freeholder, and Miss Shum’s was ordered to pay £9,574.66.

But Miss Shum says she only learned about the forfeiture in mid-July when bailiffs evicted her brother, who was surprised.

LKP raised the issue with Mr Moskovitz and local MP Sir Kier Starmer, and the LKP MP patrons chairs Sir Peter Bottomley, Jim Fitzpatrick and Sir Ed Davey.

Mr Moskovitz’s business associate Joe Gurvits denied “that the Freeholder is out to make a windfall”.

Subsequently, Mr Moskovitz’s lawyer has provided a lengthy statement to LKP, saying that residential freehold investor was not resisting its relief (below). Mr Moskovitz also disputes the accuracy of Miss Shum’s account as reported to LKP, but declines to address this until the matter is settled.

Miss Shum had bought the flat for £310,000 in August 2013, although it was her mum who actually paid for it, she says.

This meant that there was no loan on the property from a bank, which would very likely have been contacted as Avon Ground Rents Limited sought to recover the debt and forfeiture loomed.

Instead, Miss Shum says correspondence was sent to the flat and her brother did not forward it on.

Miss Shum is now seeking relief from forfeiture and has employed a lawyer.

Avon Ground Rents Limited’s legal bill had mushroomed to £30,000, although it appears to have come down to around £24,000.

Mr Moskovitz is no stranger to leasehold litigation, having resisted a number of high profile leaseholder right to manage applications.

LKP received the following response from solicitor Lorraine Scott, of Scott Cohen:

Dear Sirs,

We write on behalf of our client, Avon Ground Rents Limited  in relation to your email of the 11th September 2019.

Our client thanks you for providing an opportunity for response to this matter.

Your correspondence has come as quite a surprise as the facts of this matter show that our client is clearly not seeking a windfall.  On the contrary, our client has actively engaged with the leaseholder’s solicitor to settle this matter without additional proceedings.  Our client has made clear from the outset that it is not opposed to relief from forfeiture and has not provided any indication that it would seek to object  to the fact of relief . There is no basis to suggest that grant of relief would be opposed by our client.

It is fairly automatic that the court will grant relief subject to reasonable conditions that reflect the circumstances of the case. If you refer to the possession claim you hold, our client in fact provided conditions for relief from forfeiture in the claim itself.  Our client  certainly does not wish to incur additional costs in this unfortunate matter and is even prepared to make concessions to try and settle. These correspondences are ongoing presently and our client considers same is close to settlement.   

Our client is constrained from comment as to all the issues raised or inferred in your correspondence as they relate to the Defendant’s circumstances and issue in the proceedings upon which it would not be appropriate to comment in a public forum. This is regrettable as there are a number of matters stated in your correspondence which are not correct.

Suffice to say this is not a situation which our client has created or actively sought.  The claim documents you have provided show you the dates of the sums involved and the length of time which our client waited before commencing action.  If you consider a situation in which it is indicated that  post was not opened for two years -this  would have meant all requests for payments, efforts at settlement , and correspondences regarding the various stages of proceedings  sent by multiple parties were effectively ignored.

This would mean that the protection offered by statute by various stages of litigation required for forfeiture was effectively ignored.  The Law requires various proceedings before a forfeiture order can be obtained as a protection for the leaseholder and to give the parties the opportunity to resolve the issues without such proceedings. Our client would reasonably expect some form of response during the various proceedings to allow the matter to be concluded before it went to final forfeiture. This is not a process which happens over the course of just a few weeks or even a few months – typically you are looking at a period of roughly a year of litigation during which the leaseholder simply has to respond to stop the process.

In the first instance there would have be to a determination regarding the breaches from a court or tribunal, which are formal proceedings which gives a party an opportunity to respond and raise any disputes held with the charges requested.  If Judgment is obtained in those proceedings,  a statutory notice would then have to be served which would itself detail the breach and provide a reasonable period for the leaseholder to respond. If the matter was not resolved at that juncture then further proceedings would be required for forfeiture which would be supported by witness evidence and would be determined before a judge.  It is expected that the judge would award terms of relief to the defendant at that juncture, the defendant simply has to respond. The matter does not conclude there because a party would then have to apply to court for a court appointed bailiff to attend the property to take possession.  In all such stages a wealth of documentation and correspondences and notices are provided to the leaseholders by the client’s agent, solicitor, and the court itself to allow the issue to be resolved by a response from the leaseholder.

You may note that a period of two years is not a period which suggests that our client rushed to proceedings. It is an unfortunate situation for both parties as our client has incurred costs and spent a lengthy period in litigating this matter which ultimately has interfered with routine management.  A lease requires the co-operation of both parties whilst the landlord incurs expenditure for the protection and service of the property it remains out of pocket until the leaseholder makes a due contribution. A situation where the landlord continues to incur expenditure on the leaseholder’s behalf without reimbursement , contact or response is unfair and practically cannot be sustained .  This is not the action of a landlord seeking to make a windfall from a situation, far from it.

In any event our client continues its efforts to bring an end to this unfortunate situation and we trust this correspondence clarifies the situation. If you intend to publish this response we would be grateful if you could include same without editing the content.

Kind regards,

Lorraine Scott

    OK, then.

    If the landlord/freeholder does not seek to make a windfall profit from the forfeiture of the property, they could avoid doing so.

    All they would have to do is sell the forfeited property and after deducting all arrears and all costs that they have incurred, they could reimburse the former leaseholder any balance.

    Let us assume £24,000 legal costs, £10,000 arrears, £5,000 selling costs and a quick sale of the property for £250,000.

    So, they could hand over £211,000 to the former leaseholder if they so chose.

    It might add a tad of credibility to their statement?

    Over to you, Avon.

      As the law is currently drafted what alternative route could Mr Moskovitz do to recover the sums legally entitled to him .

      If he leaves it six years he is precluded from recovering the debt

      . Obtaining a charging order is not appropriate as sums below £5000 do not compensate for loss of interest . Also whilst he will be awarded costs he won’t get 100% of his costs back. In a claim for relief from forfeiture he will stand a far better chance

      So in the face of a complete disregard to the obligations under the lease from two young people – who may have been spoilt by their mother – the landlord has no alternative under present law from proceeding with forfeiture

      He knows as we all do that there will be a claim for relief which he has made clear he will not object to provided he is fully indemnified on costs

      I fail to see what moral crime he has done to warrant being named and shamed – the moral crime of two young people who wave two fingers in the air and can’t be bothered to take on any responsibility I find more compelling of criticism

        Mr Moskovitz has not been “shamed”: he has applied the forfeiture law as it is. That’s the only shameful aspect.

        The removal of a home in entirety from one person to another private entity is legitimate public interest, and with the Law Commission dusting down its 2006 report as part of the leasehold reforms, it is a policy interest as well.

        It is the case that forfeiture is the only recourse a freeholder has to recover an outstanding debt.

        But as things stand, the freeholder has acquired the lease to the flat: which is worth about x100 the value of the original debt. Mr Moskovitz has made clear that he is not resisting relief from forfeiture. He has also made clear that he never sought to obtain a windfall in this dispute: he wanted the debt paid and recompense for his costs.

        But consider this case:

        Dennis Jackson and Plantation Wharf: Did it have to end like this?

        Two days ago when the barrister Alexander Bastin successfully asked the judge at Wandsworth County Court to throw me out of his court – citing the Human Rights Act – the whole sorry saga of Dennis Jackson and Plantation Wharf reached a new low-point … although not one without an element of dark humour.

        In the Dennis Jackson case, where we successfully overturned the forfeiture, the CEO of the freeholder asked to meet us and Sir Peter Bottomley afterwards, to assure us that he had never wanted to make Mr Jackson destitute and homeless. Nor did he want his company to have the £800,000 property as a windfall.

        But would he have been able to give it back, we asked. Of course, after deduction of the debt and the outrageous legal fees involved in that case.

        The answer was: the UK company was owned by a US private equity group that would certainly not have countenanced paying out £680,000 in cash to an individual when it was not compelled to.

        Forfeiture and repossession are necessary in recovering debt in communal living arrangements, whether leasehold or commonhold. It will be the subject of very strong feelings. But the windfall from lease forfeiture needs stopping.

        (You have weakened your points by making some rude and prejudiced remarks about the brother and sister.)

        September 16, 2019 at 4:52 pm

        Outrageous slur, Stephen on the character of the brother & sister by insinuating that their mother spoilt them.

        By your reckoning then, I presume you believe the Duke of Westminster was also spoilt when he was bequeathed billions of pounds of prime freehold assets?

          Who did the lessee think was paying the ground rent and service charges for two years whilst away in Canada ? Was it not strange that no post was being received ? Total lack of responsibility by the leaseholder here. Can’t blame the freeholder what other choice was there. However the law needs to be changed so that the surplus sale proceeds after deduction of all of the freeholder’s costs are passed over to the ex leaseholder, totally wrong that the freeholder should profit. (Interestingly if this site had been Right To Manage forfeiture is not an option for the RTM Company as only the freeholder has such power. So an RTM company can be in severe trouble if service charges are not paid by leaseholders).

            I have a lot of sympathy with your view, Dylan.

            One might argue that, aside from their wonderful campaigning work, LKP should be using the opportunity afforded by stories like this to drum into leaseholder’s heads that providing the landlord with an up to date address is essential.
