Hi. I’m having some difficulty in planning how to approach my freeholder.

I’ve sort legal advice who have read the lease and told me most of the planned work I wish to do on my flat cannot have consent withheld unreasonably nor can a Premium be charged.

the freeholder is adamant I must pay £20k for permission. If I’m not bound to pay this and the lease is in my favour can I just go ahead and begin work?

Confused.

Thanks.

Please start your own thread rather than hijack this one.

As there is a management company, would I request consent from the management company who would then request consent from each party?

It depends on the contract/relationship betwen the Manco and freeholder(s).


Is the Manco simply employed to be responsible for management of the building eg arranging cleaning,paying common electricity bills, collecting service charge etc?


Or is it actually the legal entity that owns the freehold ie the various leaseholders including yourself are the shareholders of the Manco?
