Why use Debenhams Ottaway?

  • We are full members of ALEP and are featured on the list of Leasehold Practitioners on the Leasehold Advisory Service website (LEASE).
  • We have extensive experience in acting for freeholders and leaseholders, whether they are individuals, Associations or Companies
  • We have developed successful working relationships with specialist surveyors operating in this technical area, as well as Barristers and Managing Agents
  • We can offer practical advice as well as guiding you through the complex legislation
  • We will normally attend an initial meeting of the Management Committee, Residents Association or group of interested leaseholders entirely free of charge so that you can explore the best options for you

If you are the owner of a leasehold flat or house, there is legislation giving you rights which, if exercised, may add value to your property. If you are the owner of a freehold interest, your tenants may well pursue their statutory rights. Either way, we should be pleased to assist.
