  • And imo both of those are better positions to be in than being obliged to take whatever nonsense the freeholder decides to do with the property

    It turns out if you simply object to everything, refuse to pay and/or be generally unreachable those obligations don't mean a lot. Signed, a joint freeholder.

    (doubly so if you're non-resident)

  • I do hear you, and it's clearly coming for a place of frustration, so I'm not going to respond with anything to make that worse.

    I'm not sure if you've investigated it but I think you can instantiate S146 proceedings against a co-freeholder if they're not maintaining their end of the bargain, especially if ground rent is not being paid (assuming you have that), though I am not a lawyer.

    Looked at this recently. You can't. Not least because section 146 notices only apply where there's a proviso for re-entry, and that only applies to their obligations as a tenant, not their obligations as co-landlord.

    Edited to add: I'm involved in a similar case to grams' at the moment. The only way out of the impasse seems to me to apply under the 1987 Act for the appointment of a manager. Which is a whole world of pain.
