Unlocking Leasehold: A Resource Guide for New Leaseholders
Flat owners have been complaining for years that there isn't enough information to help them understand what they are buying or renting when they become leaseholders. A new set of consumer guides has been published to make leaseholds a little less complicated. A group of property experts has produced the free-to-download leaflets, and they look at a whole range of topics, including:
- What is a lease?
- Who is who in a block of leasehold flats?
- Who has responsibility for what?
- Carrying out alterations or improvements
- What costs will I have to pay each year?
- Common misconceptions about leasehold
- Glossary of common terms
Supporting New Residents: Essential Guides and Expert Assistance
All the guides are packed with useful information, and we recommend you go online at https://bit.ly/2zudBsf and look. If new residents are moving into your block, the guides would be a helpful addition to their welcome pack. There is also plenty of useful information on our website at www.ringley.co.uk, and don't forget that your property manager is a leasehold expert. So, if you have a property-related problem, call your Ringley contact. We're here to help.
