Letting a property can be profitable,
but letting without a properly drafted agreement is putting a valuable
asset at risk, as well as creating a huge headache for everyone involved.
Copied, old or ‘off the shelf’ contracts can be ineffective,
but Curtis can swiftly produce a tailor-made tenancy agreement that will
protect your interests and your valuable asset – ensuring worry-free
letting. Acting for several local letting agents, we offer pre-agreed
fixed fee options for County Court possession actions to save you money
at a time when you may be receiving little or no rent.
We can guide you through the whole range of residential letting
issues including:
• Tenancies and Guarantee Documents;
• Possession Notices under the Housing Act 1988;
• Possession Proceedings in the County Court;
• Possession Orders;
• Eviction proceedings; and
• Recovery of rent arrears.
Buying your Freehold
Otherwise known as ‘Collective Enfranchisement’,
the right for flat owners to form a company to purchase their freehold
is especially useful to leaseholders who are saddled with a neglectful
or absentee landlord. We can help bring property back under your control,
which also potentially increases the market value of the property.
The Right to Manage (RTM)
RTM is a less expensive option, giving leaseholders
the right to force the transfer of the landlord’s management functions
to a specialist company set up and run by the leaseholders, without having
to pay compensation. We can help enable leaseholders to manage their own
properties the way they would wish.
