A lessee in arrears only has limited rights to challenge the reasonableness of a service charge. Once a service charge or administration charge has been admitted, or determined as reasonable, the lessee must pay or forfeit their property to the landlord.
Most leases provide that the lessee in default pays all of our fees.
Often it will be that the lessee can’t pay. If that is the case then we will probably be able to obtain payment arrears and our costs from the mortgagee.
If we advise you to proceed with a claim for service charge arrears we will be willing to recover them for you on a no win no fee basis.

"This is a fantastic little firm who go and beyond to support you. I was successful in a previous litigation. The tenacity and effort was tremendous from everyone there. There's an enormous amount of business acumen.
On previous advice, a pragmatic approach taken, I was so grateful that it led me to apply my own commonsense in doing the right thing, even if it was to not take up further dispute.
Really smart people and outstanding service!!!"

I dealt with Fiona on a HMO issue and dispute i was having with a tenant. Many other companies had said they were too busy or couldn't have been less interested. I then came across Fiona who was unbelievably helpful from the get go and gave such useful advice. Within an hour of my enquiry she had got in touch. She followed up immediately with an email following our call. 5* service. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.

Bianca O'Donnell and Alex Cook recently provided me with professional legal property advice. There were significant financial repercussions had it gone wrong. Their 'Stay Calm' approach and methodical dissection of key issues was most impressive. They dealt quickly and efficiently to the last minute, providing clear advice on a potential breach of contract. Helix Law and legal advice go hand-in-hand. Helix Law have previously provided advice in various business matters over the years. They are an invaluable resource. Thank you Bianca and Alex!
