Leasehold Advisors

The more complicated the law, the more advisors are needed to sort it out. The experts who are employed in disputes are sometimes also the rule makers whose rules led to the disputes in the first place.

All these professions are needed to service leasehold tenure and may be employed by either side in a dispute:

• Accountants

• Architects

• Barristers

• Building surveyors

• Cost construction consultants

• Expert witnesses

• Forensic accountants

• Housing and Tenancy Relations Officers

• Managing Agents

• Quantity surveyor

• Solicitor

• Structural engineer

• Valuer

In addition the following may also be needed:

• Building Control

• Companies House

• Fraud Officers

• Land Registry

• Police

• Trading Standards Officers

• VAT Officers

Finally new businesses are now being developed to help leaseholders use the legal system. Intermediaries have become necessary to help organise enfranchisement and lease extensions. Most of the rules (laws) which in theory, protect leaseholders cannot be used due to lack of expertise, time, money, or support.
