Person on the phone was ok but not much was useful for me all what did come from the office itself. This office has no much power to make things move from. Still my balcony door is not going to be repaired or replaced. And this office can’t do anything about it.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry we weren’t able to provide the outcome you were hoping for.

As an independent advice service, our role is to explain leaseholders’ rights and options rather than intervene directly in disputes or require a landlord or managing agent to carry out work.

If you have concerns about the advice or service you received from us, please contact info@lease-advice.org and we can look into your experience.

I has a very positive experience

I had a very positive experience. Appointment was made and clearly communicated to me with follow up reminders. Scheduled appointment was on time. The advisor was clear about my queries and clearly researched the legal issues relating to it. Professional and clear information was given including follow up email with the advice.

Rights about contribution to Reserves.

The professional adviser did not answer my specific question about Reserves . She merely gave me the procedure and what my rights are regarding service charges and how to apply to the FTT. When I asked her for links she replied there are no links to give me. So I am disappointed.
