Leasehold Disputes is a practical guide for anyone likely to find themselves before, or considering making an application to, a Leasehold Valuation Tribunal (LVT). It also aims to equip leaseholders and their advisers with the necessary information on their rights, and the obligations of landlords, to resolve issues without resort to the tribunal system.
This book contains full coverage of the relevant case-law and legislation relating to the main areas of dispute such as service and administration charges, repairs, right to information, duty to consult, insurance, variation of leases and forfeiture. The substantive law is balanced with clear advice and tactical guidance. There is a step-by-step guide to application and hearing procedure, useful information on costs and funding, and worked examples.
