Section 20 Consultation Explained for Block Freeholders

Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 forces freeholders and managing agents to consult leaseholders before major works over 250 GBP per flat or long-term contracts over 100 GBP per flat per year. Skip the consultation and you can only recover 250 or 100 per flat, whatever the actual cost. This guide walks you through the three stages, the timelines, and how to structure a consultation that lands cleanly.
