BBC N Ireland contacted us a month ago about this quite prime site in Lisburn. Then silence. We have had no direct dealings. It is worth examination.
Call out to any legals au fait with Northern Ireland property law.
We have leaseholders in NI with truly awful leases needing advice.
Many thanks in advance 🙏

Depressing to find yet another leasehold caught up in libel litigation. Apology and money demanded for pointing out, temperately, failings of managing agent on social media. Sad that plans to reform libel seem to have been abandoned.

I’ve been laid out all day by a cold/covid/something. Meanwhile 1) people are annoyed leasehold reforms aren’t happening immediately. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/n... This is daft. It is complicated and any loopholes would be exploited. It has to be got right, and that will take time. 1/3

On the back of this BBC technically sort of accurate but not practically helpful article on leasehold, let me give some actual practical advice on disputing service charges.
