Improving the outside of your property as a leaseholder without a share of the freehold


Recommended Posts

Hi all


I bought a flat in a converted house in the area and love it. The only real downsides are the external of the building and the freeholders, who live in the block, but just don't care and have zero pride in the house.


Our house is probably one of the worst looking on the road, and it would probably take very little effort to bring it up to a reasonable standard. Unfortunately, the freeholders are utterly territorial and aggressive, and won't even consider allowing anyone to help out.


I don't want to buy the freehold, and forming a Right to Manage company may not be feasible, as the freeholders own 2 out of the 4 flats.


Anyone have any ideas/advice?


Thanks!

    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.
