website or any other website operated, licensed, owned, or
controlled by us may be republished, reproduced, copied,
uploaded, transmitted, or distributed in any way, save for your
own personal, non-commercial use. We make no representation that
anything contained are appropriate or available for use in
particular outside of England. This website and any assistance /
information / advice we provide are not meant to describe or
give a full interpretation of the law; only the courts can do
that. Nor does it cover every case. If you are in any doubt
about your rights and duties then seek specific advice. We are
unable to guarantee the outcome of serving an Initial Notice of
Claim upon the Landlord or any subsequent application to The
Leasehold Valuation Tribunal that may separately be made either
by us or by you or your client at a later date.
Whilst we use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up to
date information we make no warranties or representations
thereto. Legislation is regularly changing and or being amended.
No responsibility can be accepted by us for any omission or
error relative to any Notices that you or your client prepare &
or serve no matter how such error or omission arose and you
hereby agree not to rely on any of the information contained
herein or provided. Under no circumstances, shall we be liable
for your reliance on any such information nor shall we be liable
for any direct, indirect, consequential damages that result from
the use of, or the inability to use, this & any other material
provided.
We reserve the right to refuse to act for any individual / body
should we so wish and will not be obliged to provide any reasons
or explanations for so doing. We also reserve the rights to
alter or delete material at any time and may, at any time,
revise the terms of this Agreement by updating this website. You
are bound by any such revision and should therefore frequently
visit this section to check the terms of Agreement. By viewing
and or using this / these website(s) as you signify your
agreement & acceptance to these terms. If you do not agree to
please do not use this / these website(s).
Where we have specifically confirmed fees in writing to you
following which there is then a revision of fees, then the terms
stated to you will continue to apply for 1 month following our
letter even if there has been an increase since that time.
However, should you not have instructed us within the 1 month
period stated and our fees are reviewed then we reserve the
right to increase our fees in line with the current charges
although it is of course entirely up to you whether you accept
such revision. Where we have been formally instructed (with the
initial payment having been received) then regardless of any
subsequent fee increases the amount quoted to you would remain
and apply.
We will only use the information that we collect about you in
accordance with the Data Protection Act. We collect your name,
address, telephone number & e-mail address in order to provide
you with the best possible service & will not contact you in the
future if you ask us not to do so.
Where we state that we will make an application to The Leasehold
Valuation Tribunal this solely relates to preparing and
submitting the application
itself for which an additional charge would be made although
this would be specifically agreed with you in advance. It does not cover any fee or charges payable to them or
any associated costs relative to any such application & we will
not attend the hearing. You would be advised to consider having
representation at an LVT hearing, by means of a Valuer /
Surveyor and or possibly a solicitor. Any such representation is
your responsibility to arrange and pay for. Following an
application being made usually Directions will be issued which
will require specific actions to be carried out, including
providing documentation, exchanging same with the Landlord /
their representatives, specialists reports etc. all of which is
solely your responsibility and is excluded from our service /
fees unless otherwise specifically agreed with you in writing
beforehand. Any application to a Court for a Vesting
Order are expressly not included within our fees.
Any instruction received cannot be accepted on a time
conditional basis. Therefore we are not responsible in any way
for any loss / losses you may incur or the resulting increase in
premium or value thereof, either directly or indirectly as a
result of any Notice not being served or received by a specific
date.
Unless otherwise specifically requested it is our normal
procedure to serve all Notices by first class post with a
Certificate of Posting.
Relative to RTM - 'The Right To Manage', a Notice of Invitation
to participate has to be served on those lessees who are not
participating members (which is included within our service) but
where one or more of those lessees decide to accept the
invitation then the Company agents will make an additional
charge to amend the company details etc. & process this. The
charge depends upon the numbers involved but as an example if
there were one or 2 lessees who initially were not
'participating' who subsequently accepted the Notice of
Initiation then an additional fee of approximately £75 to £100 +
VAT would be payable. It is critical that all Lessees who are
participating are members of the RTM Company as otherwise this
could invalidate the Claim. For example if the property is in
joint names then both have to be members. We cannot be held
responsible in any way should we have been provided with
incorrect information. All members must sign the appropriate
documentation for the RTM Company to be formed.
Where the fees quoted include the formation and incorporation of
a Company (be that RTM or otherwise) are on the strict
understanding that all and any lessees are capable of being
admitted as a member / shareholder thereof & we cannot be held
responsible if either this is not possible or for any additional
charges made due to adjustments required to Memorandum &
Articles of Association to vary them to adapt to specific
unusual circumstances.
It is a condition of our terms that prior to you signing or
approving any Notice prepared by us that you have thoroughly
read and understood the CD Rom provided to you by us as this
contains important information and that you thoroughly check &
satisfy yourself as to the accuracy & content in all respects of
any Notice(s) and associated dosumentation prepared which will
be provided to you for you to approve and it is an explicit
condition of our appointment that your approval thereof removes
any liability or responsibility upon us in all & any respect for
any error contained, detailed, missing or otherwise therein and
your appointment for us to act on your behalf is conditional
upon acceptance & agreement to these terms.

read & follow the information we supply on CD Rom. This contains
important information about what is to be done following the
service of Notices relative to Lease Extensions, Right To Manage
& Collective Enfranchisement over which strict time limits apply
which, if not followed could invalidate the Claim. It is your
responsibility to ensure that such procedures are correctly
followed after any Notice is served by us. If you wish us to
assist following the service of a Notice we may be prepared to
do so and we would provide you with details as to any fee
payable relative thereto. However, we cannot act without your
instructions and it is your responsibility to contact us within
a reasonable time in order for us to take any appropriate steps
within the appropriate time limits.
