F. Operational Methods - Lease compliance Our Legal Department is well placed to advise on all aspects of breach to leases and policies. Landlords and RMC Directors are able to oversee any issues which are flagged and may bring legal proceedings so that appropriate measures can be taken. Our approach begins with a thorough lease review undertaken by the Property Manager and overseen by Ian Eaton, Property Director. It is important to identify areas which have caused difficulty in the past and quickly agree a standard approach, such as keeping a pet in the building or other consent related matters. These matters form part of a risk allocation and will need a robust and consistent response in order to maintain compliance. Dialogue is key. Braemar Estates will agree the required standards of behaviour, agree the protocol for consents and how anti-social behaviour, such as noise nuisance, will be dealt with. As a rule we follow the standards established by ARMA, but we would want to be confident that we have the whole-hearted support of the Landlord/Directors before taking any sort of enforcement action. The arrangement that we have with Brethertons, one of the country’s leading property debt specialists, ensures that legal costs are never passed back to the service charge, but are the responsibility of the defaulting leaseholder to pay and the lease is clear on the ability of the freeholder to pursue the leaseholders for costs in connection with arrears. The Postbox, Birmingham “This development contains two blocks and 258 apartments. It has underground car parking and a 24-hour concierge. Since taking over management, Braemar Estate has saved the development money on the Service Charge, implemented energy-saving technologies in the communal areas and enforced the strict lease ending the nightly letting of apartments which was occurring. Braemar holds regular meetings with Directors who have seen an increased reserve fund since Braemar took over and now have a PPM schedule which they have signed off. Victoria Smith, who we propose for the management of the <strong>Southside</strong> development, also manages this scheme and is responsible for the results above.”
We will provide regular updates on arrears and this presents the ideal opportunity to agree the escalation of troublesome leaseholders to the litigation process. Braemar Estates has particular experience in handling matters at the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) and where possible we adhere to the spirit of the legislation which is to provide a very low cost arbitration process. This is handled internally by highly qualified staff. Where complex matters of law require detailed interpretation, we instruct experienced enfranchisement Solicitors and Counsel. We have a panel of expert litigators and we always seek cost undertakings before proceeding further. As you would expect, we keep clients fully informed as to progress and process during proceedings.
