Leaseholder resources

There is much information available on the internet for leaseholders.  Below we set out some of the sources that leaseholders may wish to research to find the answer to general questions regarding leasehold and leasehold law.

Leasehold Knowledge Partnership

LKP "exists to protect ordinary leaseholders from being fleeced by landlords and their agents. They exploit the many opportunities offered by this flawed form of property tenure.".  

Links to some LKP articles relating to Canary Riverside's Tribunal actions can be found here, and West India Quay's here.  

Lease

Lease (aka the Leasehold Advisory Service) is a government-funded body designed to provide support and advice to residential leaseholders.  Their website provides useful advice guides, and leaseholders can also telephone or email/write requesting advice.  Lease usually asks that you send a copy of your lease with your query.  A copy of a typical Canary Riverside residential lease can be found here. 

Legal blogs and webinars

Canary Riverside lessees have in the past been represented by Amanda Gourlay of Tanfield Chambers in their legal actions.  Amanda writes an award-winning blog, Law and Lease, and runs monthly webinars that look in detail at a specific leasehold issue.

Housing solicitor Giles Peaker writes the Nearly Legal blog, including this article on the Canary Riverside insurance FTT decision.

ARMA - Association of Residential Managing Agents
