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!

    • Childish behaviour by Trump, so quite appropriate, I would say.
    • There's a folk choir that meets upstairs at the Castle, can't remember what night  but the pub would be able to tell you.
    • The recommendations for tradespeople are in the  "reviews" section. I agree it's confusing.
    • Thanks for this. I appreciate your suggestion. However, I have walked to the Oxfam shop with a shopping trolley (quite light when it's empty)  load of books in the past. I have also taken a trolley load of books on the 37. Both times I came back on the 37 with an empty trolley. I'm 76 and not particularly fit. I also have a problem with both  my arms (golfers elbow. No I am not a golfer. Dragging weights makes the pain worse). To walk to Herne Hill from my home  involves dragging the trolley uphill for the first part of the walk (downhill after that). To get a trolley of books onto and off the bus is very difficult, because of its weight. I don't use my ancient car (1998) very often because it isn't ULEZ compliant, but I have come to the conclusion that this is the only way I can get another  load of books to the Oxfam shop. *Breaks down in a piteous fit of crying for her age and infirmity 🤣🤣🤣*
