Leaseholder Library
Welcome to the Leaseholder Library
ARMA self-service library offers guidance to leaseholders. We would recommend that you view the documents available to see if they can assist.
If they do not, or you require further information then please contact the Leasehold Advisory Service at info@lease-advice.org. They are a government funded body who are able to assist you and they provide free information, initial advice and guidance to members of the public about residential leasehold. They are independent and impartial and all of their advisers are legally qualified.
By law, leaseholders must be consulted before a landlord carries out works above a certain value or enters into a long-term agreement for the provision of services.
This guide explains the Section 20 consultation process for landlords, resident management companies and their managing agents in England and Wales.
IMPORTANT: The advice in this booklet needs to be read in conjunction with the decision in a recent case in the High Court, ‘Phillips v Francis’.
