Leasehold Disputes
It is sometimes difficult to manage or reside in a property where issues arise and disputes cannot be amicably settled between the parties involved – Leaseholders, Freeholders, and Management Companies.
We will aim to work with you to achieve the best possible outcome with your leasehold dispute, whether you wish to rectify a breach of lease, recover service charge arrears, ensure obligations are carried out, forfeit a lease etc.
If this sounds like a situation you find yourself in, we are here to help you. Our landlord and tenant team can provide you with expert knowledge and assist you with your on-going dispute. Our team will assess all options available to you to reach a settlement by methods such as alternative leasehold dispute resolution to set outside of court, and if necessary, commencing court proceedings on your behalf. We will be able to assist you with common issues (non-exhaustive list) such as:
- Service Charge Disputes.
- Leasehold Disputes and Breach of Covenants.
- Maintenance Issues.
We understand that these matters will involve people’s homes and businesses, and the importance of this to you. It is essential in these matters to be clear as to the resolution sought to ensure that you are able to enjoy your property again.

Our expert team will be able to advise you on your current lease and when you should obtain a lease extension. There are many factors which will affect when you should obtain an extension such as marriage value on the premium payable, if you are looking to sell, any upcoming ground rent increases etc. As part of this process, we will be able to advise you on any suggested modernisations or issues with your lease that you may attempt to update/improve if both parties are agreeable to the proposed changes.
Alternatively, if you are a Freeholder looking for expert advice on granting a lease extension, we would be able to advise you on your position regarding the current state of the lease and your position regarding any proposed amendments sought by your Leaseholder and the effects this may have on you.
We can advise you further and discuss the most viable and cost effective option to pursue.
