If you are a leaseholder, the handbook on the right has useful information to help you to manage your lease. It includes details on your responsibilities and our responsibilities under the lease, service charges, consultation, and repairs.
We offer a range of services to maintain the structure of the building that your property is part of. We also look after shared areas such as hallways, stairs and courtyards. You can find out what we offer when it comes to cleaning and grounds maintenance on the right:
If you're planning to sell your property or make changes to it, you might need our permission. If that's the case, there will be an admin fee to cover our costs. Check your lease for more details.
These fees are charged by Freebridge Community Housing Limited for handling your request. They only cover our admin costs and don’t include any additional charges related to the property or legal documents. You’ll also need to cover your own legal fees separately, so it’s a good idea to speak with your solicitor about their costs.
In some cases, we may need to outsource legal work, and any associated fees will also need to be covered by you.
