Specialist collections Package for service charge recoveries

Remove the burden funding high legal costs with our Specialist Package especially designed for Freeholders, Managing Agents and Property Managers.

Fixed Fee or “No Collect-No Fee”

In most cases we are able to work on a “no collect - no fee” basis because we expect to recover all legal costs and interest from Leaseholders because most leases include charging provisions enabling recovery of legal costs.

What accounts qualify for the “No Win – No Fee” Service:

In most cases we expect to recover our fees directly from the defaulting Leaseholder, providing the account meets the following criteria:

• The freehold property is registered in England & Wales & mortgaged
• The Lease requires the Tenant to pay professional costs including those of recovery
• The Lease has provision for forfeiture
• The debt is not genuinely disputed

Our costs are generally fixed price and pre-agreed with our clients so that the cost of each stage of the process is fixed.

Cases Not Fulfilling Criteria

The majority of cases will fulfil the criteria. However if some do not, then we will offer to undertake the work for you on an alternative commission based or fixed price service.
