St Martins TRA

We’ve had three other public meetings for the benefit of leaseholders:

• A meeting with the Leasehold Advisory Service in January 2015, minutes here
• A meeting with Metropolitan Leaseholder Services in April 2016, minutes here
• A meeting with the Leasehold Advisory Service in September 2019, minutes here.
• We plan to have another on Wednesday 7th September 2022, details here

If you have an old lease you may be being overcharged for administration.  Full details here

As a leaseholder you have buildings insurance paid for as part of your service charge.  Here’s how it helped one resident of Gaywood Close

If you think you need an EWS1 form to sell or remortgage your lease it’s best to seek professional advice.  This story from a former resident of Kynaston House may help

NHG leaseholders have specific issues about lack of transparency in service charges.  If you’re an NHG leaseholder please contact us with details of how much you pay so we can challenge NHG.  There’s also an issue about that NHG have introduced sinking funds (what NHG calls cyclical funds) without consultation.  NHG have now said “The sinking fund will be refunded to leaseholders accounts [but] we do intend to begin collecting the sinking fund and will therefore inform all leaseholders of this change moving forward so that it can be properly included in future demands”.  We’ll discuss this further at the meeting with the Leasehold Advisory Service

As a result of our campaigning MTVH have massively improved the transparency of their service charges.  We need to make sure the Internal Cleaning charges are comparable to other council estates.  If you have any friends who live on broadly comparable estates please ask them to forward their service charge statement to us (here are our contact details)

Nobody in the TRA is a property lawyer. We cannot give legal advice.
