In our case London Lewisham Council did to its leaseholders by giving them huge major work bills ranging from £25000--£33000 and right after they had sent us final bills they passed the whole shitty ownership to another housing association called PHOENIX HOUSING ASSOCIATION,who tyranised the leaseholders by sending some the county court orders.They r broad daylight robbers and government don't do anything to stop these councils bcos they are equally vulnerable and govt encourages them to do so.

We are unable to buy the freehold individually and the pressure of the freeholders harassing us as owners while we settle a whole purchase price of the flat with a mortgage. Unfair Justice from the County and High Courts when unable to find the right Lawyer or Solicitor to handle the dispute matter to the purchase of the freehold.

To discuss the topic in detail; recommended to Ministry of Justice.

The Legislations Acts for Leasehold Properties (Flats) needs to be reviewed. Unfair not to separate the purchase of the freehold between two flat (ground floor and first floor). The first floor leasehold owner gets all the priority and ground floor owner who is able to purchase the freehold has no priority if not purchased as a whole. Unnecessary to purchase as a whole when one owner does not agree or is ignorant of the law and the complications of the future..

• “To Let” properties are not bought with a mortgage and are managed by Landlords, freeholders and managing agents if appointed. Tenants are

temporary and pay rent.

There is a difference to “Bought Properties” with a mortgage that is permanent purchase, rather than considered as a tenant or temporary.

To protect our rights, the Legislation needs to be changed and amended...

Calls for changes to the Leasehold Legislation and Act Law.

• My statement is: Mortgaged properties are bought privately and should be managed by the purchaser and third party should not be allowed to interfere as a freeholder (he has not purchased the property as a Whole

Transfer under his sole name between the seller/buyer and not allowed to overrule us. Nor has he purchased the whole land!)

Nice one. My page is all about the same thing or similar. Council botched jobs, dodgey window and noisy neighbours. All this and they still want you to pay a high price for a service that been seriously poor.
