Hatherley Court
139 Hatherley Court, Hatherley Grove, London, W2 5RG
The Challenge
Freeholder Challenged the right for the LVT to determine the terms and valuation of the Lease Extension as being outside the timescale.
The Landlord's Surveyor seemed to settle and then backtracked on the amount. Which we would attempt to us to our advantage
Clauses they were trying to include as 'modernisation'.
Implementation of VAT on charges, indemnity clause on Landlords costs, interest rate.
The Solution
Counter Notice: £33,500
Settlement: £30,000
Pre-review was held, which the Respondent did not attend. The LVT agreed that the application was within time, and apologied for the need
We opposed the imlementation of those Covenants and were prepared to dispute them at LVT. The Client in these circumstances did not wish to incur the costs of proceeding and instructed us not to pursue them. But some terms were agreed.
