Leaseholder disputes with a management company cover conflicts over service charges, maintenance of communal areas and compliance with lease terms. A solicitor practising in this area helps leaseholders review the lease, scrutinise service charge accounts and budgets, and challenge unreasonable costs or failures to follow correct procedures. They may also negotiate directly with the management company, prepare formal notices or raise disputes in the courts or tribunals. The work often hinges on how the lease and relevant statutes are applied to shared facilities and funding for major works.

The solicitor coordinates evidence, negotiates with the management company, and, if needed, advances proceedings in the appropriate forum to protect the client’s leasehold interests.
