As a leaseholder, you have bought the right to live in your property for a fixed number of years - initially up to 125 - called the 'term'. Although the term is fixed at the start, it decreases every year until it expires and the ownership of the property returns to us, unless you apply to extend the lease.
Here are the standards of service that you should expect from us if you are a leaseholder of one of our properties.
We will:
-
consult on general issues that affect all leaseholders
-
consult with you before carrying out major works to your block of flats, and before you enter into a long term contract
-
advise you of your estimated contribution towards the cost of any works or service
-
promote and develop opportunities for you to get involved with the housing service
-
carry out repairs and services to a high standard, and monitor your satisfaction
-
provide you with a copy of our Leaseholders Handbook, which outlines your rights and responsibilities
-
carry out comprehensive satisfaction surveys, and act upon the responses that we get to improve our services
-
keep you up to date with changes in the law that will affect you as a leaseholder, and us as the freeholder, of your home, and amend our procedures accordingly
