Service charge disputes can be complex and contentious. We assist in presenting evidence and legal arguments to the Tribunal to reach a fair and enforceable decision on what constitutes reasonable charges.

Changes in property use or updates to outdated lease provisions often require an application to the Tribunal for approval. Our team has a proven track record in guiding clients through the process, ensuring that all legal requirements are met.

When leaseholders and freeholders cannot agree on the associated costs, we act on behalf of our clients to present a compelling case to the Tribunal for a determination that is fair and legally sound.

Disputes over specific terms during the enfranchisement or lease extension process can significantly delay outcomes. We advocate for clients to achieve clear, favourable terms approved by the Tribunal.

The value of an enfranchised property can become a point of contention between leaseholders and freeholders. Our experienced solicitors guide you through the valuation and application process, ensuring all relevant factors are presented effectively.
