  • Landlord was just a big Letting Agency, having amassed some dozen or so PCN's in the space of my residency I can assure you, they do not help at all

    Letting Agency are the landlord? Really? Are you sure? Or are they the agent for the landlord(s) who own the properties?

    However ... if you have a leaseholder agreement then you "own" the property for the term of the lease. There is no landlord, only a freeholder.

    It's important to know the correct state of play ... so, are you a leaseholder or a tenant?

    When you say you got hold of the leaseholder agreement what do you mean?

    Do you mean your landlords lease with the headlease holder, or do you mean the Assured Shorthold Tenancy, the legal Agreement between you and the Landlord. This is the one that the letting agent gives you when you move in.

    This is a serious matter and you could end up with a CCJ, it is essential that, if you want our advice, you use proper legal terminology.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    OK ... you have an AST with no mention of parking or the requirement for parking permits, and your landlord has a leasehold agreement for the property which likewise has no mention of any parking permit requirements.

    Slam dunk. :)
  • Thought as much, but do I need to clarify that point any further than what I have written for point 1 of my defence?
