Thinking of a loft conversion? Bigger kitchen? As leaseholders we need to check the lease first, and ensure any necessary permissions are obtained from the freeholder. Each managing agent handles this differently, and they don’t always have a clear process.
We’re delighted to say that Mark Chick of Bishop & Sewell has written an exclusive article for us about the legal framework for making improvements and structural alterations as a leaseholder.
Mark is a leading leasehold specialist, and a director and a founder committee member of the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners (ALEP), formed to ensure practitioners involved in this sector adhere to an agreed level of conduct and service.
Mark and his team have taken part in part in two of our local leaseholder advice sessions and helped dozens of local people with specific leasehold queries.
