Useful Information for Council Leaseholders of Flats and Maisonettes
General Information for Council Leaseholders
When you were discussing buying your flat with
your solicitor you will have been advised that the flat was being
sold to you on a lease.
Your lease explains in detail the
responsibilities and obligations of both the leaseholder (you) and
your landlord (Cheshire West and Chester Council).
The information provided here summarises your
obligations as a leaseholder and the obligations of the Council, as
your landlord. Your lease also explains who is responsible
for repairing and maintaining both your flat and its block.
As a leaseholder you have to pay the landlord
for your share of the cost of any services provided under the
lease. These costs will be recharged to you in the form of
service charges.
Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council, as
your landlord, is obliged to provide certain services, undertake
repairs and maintenance and calculate the service charges for your
property.
