Leasehold Management

Undertaking major works on a tenanted property is a great opportunity, though not without certain risks. Landlords must consult with leaseholders or risk being challenged by a leaseholder, having to carry out works separately, and ultimately being unable to recover costs.

Why carry out leasehold consultations?

• Fulfils your legal obligations as a landlord – FFT operates a fully compliant leaseholder consultation process, eliminating the worry of getting it wrong
• You can deliver mixed tenure programmes of work – if consultations are not undertaken, works must be carried out separately, meaning a slower lead time and greater disruption to residents
• You can recover costs – proper consultation with tenants who pay a variable service charge means that landlords have the right to recover costs from tenants
