The
following information gives general advice and guidelines, to
clients, leaseholders and tenants. This page is mainly
directed at leasehold property.
Alterations
Under
most leases you are not permitted to carry out any
improvements or alterations to your property without the
consent of the building owner. Any proposal in this respect
should be made in writing to us. This includes the replacement
of any window frames to your premises. It is important to
ensure that any proposed alteration or improvement will not be
detrimental to the building or our client’s interest. In
most cases it is normally a requirement that building
regulation and any planning permission is sought in this
respect. Please contact us for advice.
Please
note failure to obtain the appropriate approval and
documentation could prejudice any future sale of your
property.
Pets
Under
most leases it is generally a requirement to contact us or the
building owner for permission to keep a pet. Further advice is
available on request.
Complaints Concerning Neighbours
We
often receive complaints concerning neighbouring flats. These
complaints normally concern excessive noise, rubbish disposal,
parking etc. Whilst we endeavour to resolve matters amicably
we are unable to investigate such matters without the
complaint being made in writing. We will, where necessary,
write to the relevant person if we consider there are
reasonable grounds for the compliant
Please
note that we have limited capacity in relation to these types
of issues and any complicated cases should be passed to a
solicitor for advice, if matters remain unresolved.
Subletting
You
are required to advise us if you intend to sublet your
premises. There are a number of reasons for this and there is
a strict criteria on some properties in respect of sub letting
your property to a third party. Please note that we are
required to deal with your application in writing.
Buying and Selling a Property
Your
solicitor will contact our office to obtain information
relating to the property and to ensure that any rents and
service charge payments are up to date. Requests for
information and supporting documentation, must be made in
writing by your solicitor, who will liaise direct with our
enquires department.
Please
note, we will deal directly with your solicitors and not with
any third party involved in the transaction.
