Dealing with Disputes
Dealing with Disputes (First-tier Tribunal)
The First-tier Tribunal (FtT), formerly the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal (LVT) is part of the Residential Property Tribunal Service and can be a vital last resort for leaseholders who want to vary their leases or question management charges, the conduct of the freeholder, buildings insurance charges, or other issues.
Whatever the circumstances, you will need professional support from a specialist leasehold enfranchisement solicitor or valuer. In some cases you may also need to be represented by a barrister.
