No material supplied by us at any time or material from this website or any other website operated, licensed, owned, or controlled by us may be republished, reproduced, copied, uploaded, transmitted, or distributed in any way, save for your own personal, non-commercial use. We make no representation that anything contained are appropriate or available for use in particular outside of England. This website and any assistance / information / advice we provide are not meant to describe or give a full interpretation of the law; only the courts can do that. Nor does it cover every case. If you are in any doubt about your rights and duties then seek specific advice. We are unable to guarantee the outcome of serving an Initial Notice of Claim upon the Landlord or any subsequent application to The Leasehold Valuation Tribunal that may separately be made either by us or by you or your client at a later date.
 
Whilst we use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up to date information we make no warranties or representations thereto. Legislation is regularly changing and or being amended.  No responsibility can be accepted by us for any omission or error relative to any Notices that you or your client prepare & or serve no matter how such error or omission arose and you hereby agree not to rely on any of the information contained herein or provided. Under no circumstances, shall we be liable for your reliance on any such information nor shall we be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, this & any other material provided.
 
We reserve the right to  refuse to act for any individual / body should we so wish and will not be obliged to provide any reasons or explanations for so doing. We also reserve the rights to alter or delete material at any time and may, at any time, revise the terms of this Agreement by updating this website. You are bound by any such revision and should therefore frequently visit this section to check the terms of Agreement. By viewing and or using this / these website(s) as you signify your agreement & acceptance to these terms. If you do not agree to please do not use this / these website(s).

Where we have specifically confirmed fees in writing to you following which there is then a revision of fees, then the terms stated to you will continue to apply for 1 month following our letter even if there has been an increase since that time.  However, should you not have instructed us within the 1 month period stated and our fees are reviewed then we reserve the right to increase our fees in line with the current charges although it is of course entirely up to you whether you accept such revision. Where we have been formally instructed (with the initial payment having been received) then regardless of any subsequent fee increases the amount quoted to you would remain and apply.

 
We will only use the information that we collect about you in accordance with the Data Protection Act. We collect your name, address, telephone number & e-mail address in order to provide you with the best possible service & will not contact you in the future if you ask us not to do so.
 
Where we state that we will make an application to The Leasehold Valuation Tribunal this solely relates to preparing and submitting the application itself for which an additional charge would be made although this would be specifically agreed with you in advance. It does not cover any fee or charges payable to them or any associated costs relative to any such application & we will not attend the hearing. You would be advised to consider having representation at an LVT hearing, by means of a Valuer / Surveyor and or possibly a solicitor. Any such representation is your responsibility to arrange and pay for. Following an application being made usually Directions will be issued which will require specific actions to be carried out, including providing documentation, exchanging same with the Landlord / their representatives, specialists reports etc. all of which is solely your responsibility and is excluded from our service / fees unless otherwise specifically agreed with you in writing beforehand. Any application to a Court for a Vesting Order are expressly not included within our fees.
 
Any instruction received cannot be accepted on a time conditional basis. Therefore we are not responsible in any way for any loss / losses you may incur or the resulting increase in premium or value thereof, either directly or indirectly as a result of any Notice not being served or received by a specific date.
 
Unless otherwise specifically requested it is our normal procedure to serve all Notices by first class post with a Certificate of Posting.
 
Relative to RTM - 'The Right To Manage', a Notice of Invitation to participate has to be served on those lessees who are not participating members (which is included within our service) but where one or more of those lessees decide to accept the invitation then the Company agents will make an additional charge to amend the company details etc. & process this. The charge depends upon the numbers involved but as an example if there were one or 2 lessees who initially were not 'participating' who subsequently accepted the Notice of Initiation then an additional fee of approximately £75 to £100 + VAT would be payable. It is critical that all Lessees who are participating are members of the RTM Company as otherwise this could invalidate the Claim. For example if the property is in joint names then both have to be members. We cannot be held responsible in any way should we have been provided with incorrect information. All members must sign the appropriate documentation for the RTM Company to be formed.
 
Where the fees quoted include the formation and incorporation of a Company (be that RTM or otherwise) are on the strict understanding that all and any lessees are capable of being admitted as a member / shareholder thereof & we cannot be held responsible if either this is not possible or for any additional charges made due to adjustments required to Memorandum & Articles of Association to vary them to adapt to specific unusual circumstances.
 
It is a condition of our terms that prior to you signing or approving any Notice prepared by us that you have thoroughly read and understood the CD Rom provided to you by us as this contains important information.
