Ringley Law was successful in recovering service charge arrears from a leaseholder who had maintained for over 10 years that their property was in disrepair. Ringley Law defended the counterclaim in excess of £100,000 brought by the leaseholder and by working with an expert witness and instructed Counsel, was victorious at trial. The judge’s award included over £10,000 of interest and nearly all of the Claimant’s costs

How did we do it?
We used cherry pickers (instead of having scaffolding) to gain access to the vast majority of 6 blocks, with the tallest block being 7 storeys above ground level. By using cherry pickers, we reduced the cost of access by £150,000 + fees + VAT = £200,000.

Preston Hall
How did we do it?
We provided a range of valuation advice from the cheeky to the realistic to help this block buy their freehold and our sister company Ringley Law duly served notice. Ultimately through somewhat protracted negotiations and modelling of values per sq ft, indexing new build values yielded and challenging other variables we achieved a £170,250 saving on the Freeholders' position.

Ringley inherited rather a lot when this RTM took over; the Portman Estate was part way through trying to either dispossess the headlessee or to require them to immediately effect over £2M works to windows, roof, rainwater goods, decorations.... What hurt lessees the most is that there were only 9 years left on their leases. Ringley reviewed every aspect of the schedule of works and what was 'reasonable repairs' bearing in mind there were just 9 years left on the lease, and where replacement or renewal could not be defended. Through diligent research and careful procurement we managed to save the client just under £250,000 + Vat by specifying different methods/materials and repair not renewal where possible as well as sourcing an alternative window supplier.

Mundania Court
How did we do it?
This collective enfranchisement group had all but given up hope. Then they met Ringley. Ringley led them to save £374,000 and get them the freehold saving them £569,000 against the Freeholders Notice and £374,000 against the best their previous Solicitor and Valuer could manage. The issue boiled down to the value of 4 telecoms masts. Ringley put together a case based on the diminishing long term value of roof masts due to mergers and reducing space requirements.

How did we do it?
We negotiated away a £510,000 gas bill relying on National Grid failings, a meter change/inadequate readings and dual billing with an nearby block. We argued the supplier had a duty of care not to allow a bill to become unreasonable and to adequately notify charges, both they failed to do.
