Did Berkeley conceding right to manage at Chelsea Bridge Wharf, with 1,132 flats, prompt @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social to advance RTM reforms? www.leaseholdknowledge.com/leaseholders...

Massive result: Chelsea Bridge Wharf with 1,132 flats, value of more than £1bn has won right to manage after Berkeley Group did not oppose. Time for all developers to build with residents' management companies @nearlylegal.co.uk @cathnlc.bsky.social www.leaseholdknowledge.com/leaseholders...

BBC N Ireland contacted us a month ago about this quite prime site in Lisburn. Then silence. We have had no direct dealings. It is worth examination.

Depressing to find yet another leasehold caught up in libel litigation. Apology and money demanded for pointing out, temperately, failings of managing agent on social media. Sad that plans to reform libel seem to have been abandoned. www.leaseholdknowledge.com/lkp-rejects-...

A full house of leasehold horrors in this building. Dangerous cladding, internal leaks, dodgy speculative freeholder going for permitted development (but now bust), opaque service charges, delayed remedial works… www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I’ve been laid out all day by a cold/covid/something. Meanwhile 1) people are annoyed leasehold reforms aren’t happening immediately. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/n... This is daft. It is complicated and any loopholes would be exploited. It has to be got right, and that will take time. 1/3

On the back of this BBC technically sort of accurate but not practically helpful article on leasehold, let me give some actual practical advice on disputing service charges. A quick guide to challenging leasehold service charges and not stuffing it up. 1/7 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
