Leasehold property
Leasehold disputes
There is a different dispute process in Wales.
You might be able to negotiate a settlement using mediation. This is when an impartial professional (the mediator) helps both sides work out an agreement. It’s confidential and usually quicker and cheaper than going to court. Find a mediator.
You can also get free advice from the Leasehold Advisory Service (LAS) on issues like:
- service charges
- extending your lease
- buying the freehold
Apply to a tribunal
You can apply to a tribunal if you’re in a dispute with your landlord about, for example:
- service or administration charges
- the cost of building insurance
- the appointment of a manager
- Right to Manage
- the breach of a lease
- varying a lease
- recognising a tenants’ association
- buying the freehold
- extending the lease
Apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunals if you’re in Wales.
