Explanatory Notes to Numbered Items.
19. The landlord will normally be the person to whom the ground rent is payable, although it is possible that an agent may be employed to collect this on the landlord’s behalf. The person or the organisation to whom the service charge is payable may be your landlord or head landlord or a residents’ management company – you should find the landlord’s details on your latest service charge demand. It is also possible that an agent has been employed to collect service charges on their behalf.
20. The number of years is calculated by taking the original number of years the lease was granted for and deducting the number of years that have expired since the lease was first granted.
21. This information will be found in the lease.
22. This information will be found on the previous year’s service charge demands.
24. Leaseholders should have been notified of this as part of the required consultation process where their contribution towards the work exceeds £250.
Please note : All leaseholders should have their own copy of the lease although sometimes this is held by the mortgage lender or the conveyancer who handled the purchase. A copy can normally be obtained from the Land Registry – www.landregisteronline.gov.uk. It is unlikely that the managing agent will be able to provide a copy of the lease.
