  • Not to hog this thread, but we’ve been going back through our correspondence with our freeholder. When new owners bought into the business we were informed, but told specifically that it didn’t affect the freehold. Currently it is being demonstrated quite plainly that their involvement does affect our freehold.

    Does anyone know if there’s a requirement for leaseholders to be notified of a change of freeholder? Google fu is failing currently

  • Does anyone know if there’s a requirement for leaseholders to be notified of a change of freeholder?

    What are you hoping to achieve? You must have been notified of the change of freeholder - otherwise how are you corresponding with them. I am not sure a "foot fault" on when or how they told you will get you anything - what are your damages?

  • It’s a case of the buck being passed until it’s become clear that new owners hold all the power and the business (that we thought they only hold a share of) cannot perform the freeholder requirements. So we’ve never been notified, it’s just a case of who is now answering inquiries.
    If it turns out that the original freeholder is actually still our freeholder then maybe they’ll fill out the forms and we can sell the flat.
    If they’ve done something wrong, then I don’t know really. We still wouldn’t have known they’d behave like this.
