Lease renual issues

Nowhere. Though the OP did (I supect erronously) state:Where in the OP did it say that the leaseholders own a share of the freehold?
I suspect the OP meant 'the flat owners are the freeholders'. Just a guess!all the flat owners are the lease holders, its run as a company where every flat owner is a shareholder.
The 'freeholder' ( ie the company in which each flat owner has a share) can probably take the decision to re-issue the leases on a majority vote ( depending on the company's Articles of Association).Surely not everyone needs to sign the paperwork, if you all own a share in the freehold then all you need is a majority in agreement to make the changes.
But the 'freeholder' is just one part to each lease. Each individual leaseholder would have to agree to the freeholder's suggestion, and as I said in post 2 above, the leaseholders cannot be forced to change their individual lease.0 -
Thank you for all the comments, I was able to take some advice from this and have composed an email in which I have reminded the ‘guilty’ ones that breaching the lease might have legal consequences, as at the moment more than half of the flats are guilty of this.
I will be happy to receive any more advice/suggestions.0 -
In what capacity are you sending the email?Thank you for all the comments, I was able to take some advice from this and have composed an email in which I have reminded the ‘guilty’ ones that breaching the lease might have legal consequences, as at the moment more than half of the flats are guilty of this.
I will be happy to receive any more advice/suggestions.
Given some of the very dubious wording in your posts above(eg confusing 'leaseholders'and 'freeholder'?), it might be wise to get the wording of your email checked before you send it.0 -
Well luckily I didn’t use any wording such as leasehold or freehold in my email. But have used the word legal consequences which worked a treat and this morning I’ve received copies of signed documents.0

(to explain, SylviaB's post 16 had a (now deleted) comment of dubious intent........)0
