I am writing to inquire about your legal services and fees regarding an urgent matter before The First Tier Tribunal. I am one of three directors of a freehold property company that owns the freehold for a block of 20 flats. The company is jointly owned by 20 leaseholders as shareholders.

Two of the shareholders, who are currently in arrears with their service charge payments, have initiated proceedings with the Tribunal under section 27A of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. They are seeking a determination of both the liability to pay the service charge and the reasonableness of the charges – specifically disputing whether the recent renovation of communal areas should be recoverable via the service charge.

Over the past two years, these individuals have made several unfounded allegations against the company and its directors, including claims of mismanagement of funds and personal benefit from their positions. In addition to these allegations, it has become clear that these individuals hold a personal vendetta against me and appear to be using this opportunity to bully, harass, and upset me. Despite extensive documentation provided over the last 18 months disproving their claims, they have escalated the matter by submitting a specific disclosure application to the Tribunal, requesting the production of thousands of documents. They have also made personal allegations against me and my mother.

A case management hearing is currently scheduled for 17th April 2025, and it is imperative that we address the specific disclosure application promptly and effectively. I am therefore seeking expert legal representation to assist with this matter, including drafting appropriate submissions to rebut the disclosure application and defend against these baseless and personal allegations.

Could you please provide details of your fees and your availability for an initial consultation? 

Kind regards";}
