Sometimes it feels like we are always walking in treacle. We are in dispute with the landlords over the service charge. We believe it isn’t being administered in accordance with the lease we signed over two years ago. I wouldn’t have had a clue but Jem is experienced in property matters and has advised other organisations on such issues. I am learning fast. Dominent interests, occupation and possession of a property, the 1954 Act and security of tenure – things you need to know when you are dealing with lawyers. Yes- we are taking it to court. They have responded with a counter-claim. You can see why I’m talking treacle. Mention solicitors and a swift solution is definitely not in the legal vocabulary. A straightforward discussion would be quite nice.
