Section 20 Major Works Consultation & Project Management

Most of the major works needed for a Block should be planned for in advance. However, very often leaseholders can expose themselves to substantial unforeseen costs. Freeholders and their managing agents need to consult leaseholders, if major repairs, cyclical and or internal or external redecoration are carried out in your block exceed the threshold limit of £250 per leaseholder. Consultation on major work is a legal requirement and comes under Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (amended by section 151 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002).

Managing major works can be a time-consuming and an arduous task but it is imperative that blocks / developments are maintained as per the covenants of the lease. What is even more important is that the elements of transparency and fairness along with and a degree of collaboration with leaseholders is maintained.
