LEASE Open Day, Cardiff
On 28th January LEASE and Shelter Cymru held an Open Day in Cardiff at the Park Plaza Hotel. Shabnam Ali-Khan led a team of Legal Advisers who provided a day of information sessions, Q&As and one-to-one advice surgeries.
Shabnam Ali-Khan said: “Leaseholders raised questions about Right to Manage, service charge rights - including consultation for major works - applying to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal, lease extensions and freehold purchase of flats. More than 50 leaseholders and others attended and we look forward to helping more people in Wales with similar events.”
Would your Housing Association or Residents Association like LEASE to address your group on the complexities of residential leasehold? We can provide presentations on common issues and questions relating to residential leasehold as well as individual advice surgeries.
