Tribunal appointed manager is a less commonly known remedy for leaseholders living in a building that suffers from mismanagement.
The process involves a thorough review of the history of the management, the lease and the preparation of a water tight case against the freeholder. If we can prove negligence to the FTT, the judge can appoint a professional property manager for a number of years, completely removing the freeholder from decision making with regards to service charges, management and maintenance.
This is a formal Tribunal process, and as such you will want a solicitor who has a history of succeeding with these claims, such as Peppercorn Law's Brighton based solicitor Ricky Coleman, who has a 100% success rate with these applications and will usually handle the advocacy at the Tribunal hearing.

We live in Australia and worked with Ricky Coleman to update a lease on a Brighton property, and I would highly recommend his services whether your an ex-pat or local. I found Ricky super helpful, efficient, knows his stuff and kept us informed throughout the process. Thank you.

The whole process experienced was easy. Mr Coleman was courteous and friendly throughout. Matters were explained at each stage. Despite delays at the Land Registry, I was always kept up to date and reassured matters were in hand. I am very grateful.
