Leasehold woes

[Miss Demeanour]

This week? It's Friday evening. Do you mean next week 

If it's said before the weekend then it's next week ....you know the roolz 

[Just One More]

No, I beg to differ. He said "this week", this week. So it must be this week. If this week he meant next week, he should have said "next week", this week

Doesn't matter who has sold the leasehold or how much they got for it the new owner has to honour the existing lease agreements or buy you all out. Alternatively leaseholders can apply to the courts and obtain an order enabling them to purchase the leasehold themselves. It really isn't difficult.

This is Nick we are talking about. Surely you don't expect a straightforward or rational course of action.

Sorry ~ I sometimes forget

I have spoken to LEASE twice about this and they are very helpful. This has got a tad more complicated and we need a solicitor's letter

Off to see solicitor this afternoon 

[Nick]

WHen a solicitor says something is "complicated" I hear the word "expensive"

Indeed ~ "Complicated" actually translates into "I haven't a clue but I will ask a colleague so you'll be paying for two of us to work on the matter".


However if there really is a "complication with the lease" then you will at least be able to sue the solicitor who handled the conveyancing as they should have picked up any and all possible problems 

[Nick]

This was discussed    We may also be able to sue the freeholder who, we learn, is preparing to flee the country 

[Pastis]

What a coincidence. I used the word complicated in response to a brief this very afternoon   

[Snoopy]

Solicitor ought to be quick enough to get the freeholder's assets frozen.

But in any event although it may be complicated the new freeholder is lumbered with a bunch of angry sitting leaseholders so not such an investment really.
