Thanks to LKP I saved £120 on Tchenguiz subletting fee

March 21, 2014 //  by Sebastian O'Kelly

An email from a grateful reader:

Hi Sebastian,

Just a quick line to say that thanks to the advice on your website, I was able to reduce the consent/registration fee from £175 to £55, with regards to subletting our leasehold property.
The culprits were Estates & Management, and Proxima GR Properties.  It would not have occurred to me to take them to Tribunal, until I found LeasholdKnowledge.
 
I realise this is a small matter when compared to the horrors that are going on with retirement homes, but I just wanted to let you know that someone has benefitted from your experience.
 
Wishing you all the best in your fight against the unfairness of the leasehold system,
 
Yours XXX

    To XXX,
    Do not forget, you have helped us. Instead of paying £175 you paid £55.. That is another £120 that E&M/Proxima thought they were going to get that they didn’t!
    By showing what can be done, others will now resist paying £175.
    So very well done to you.

    £55? That’s £15 more than you should have paid! (according to at least one tribunal decision which I think is mentioned somewhere on this site). Still, if E&M were denied their customary premium more often it could help accelerate the collapse of this rent-seeking “monstrous company” (as a cabinet minister referred to it), so the publicity is welcome.

    Estates & Management charge £120 fee (could that be a new name to the consent) when requesting Lease extension.

    Barratt build lots of properties at the beginning of 1980’s. Some of the Leaseholders are extending their Lease’s although there are still over 80
    years left. When a solicitor sent a letter giving a reasonable time scale for E & M to reply. An other letter by a Solicitor had to be send to E & M and therefor it adds on cost to the leaseholders. This is the usual treatment of the Leaseholders by Estates & Management going by the previous experience’s.
