The landlord won’t answer the management enquiries for the flat I’m buying, is there anything my solicitor can do about this?

When buying a flat, it can be a stressful experience having your purchase delayed due to a hold up from someone else. Unfortunately, as you are not the leaseholder yet, you are not in a legal relationship with the landlord.

In this situation, there is nothing your solicitor can do to force the landlord to reply to these enquiries. The best thing you can do is ask your solicitor to continue to chase the landlord as this will put pressure on them to provide the answers.

LEASE is governed by a board, appointed as individuals by the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
