LKP has asked the Pier / Regis group, whose proprietors are Nicholas and Peter Gould, why it demanded £120 plus VAT for a subletting fee when the lease said £50 plus VAT.
The property is one of 50 in Park Lane Plaza, Liverpool, and the lease owner who contacted LKP said that he has to make the same argument every year.
“Pier Management backed down at the 11th hour (payment was due by the end of today) after I said I would seek to reclaim this charge at the tribunal,” said the leaseholder.
Sonia McColl OBE addresses the All-Party Parliamentary Group on leasehold and commonhold reform in December 2017 after her park home was stolen following numerous efforts at intimidation, including she claims death threats. Two were later convicted for the theft of her home.
Park home owners – often pensioners being pushed around in the same way as leaseholders but with menace and occasional criminality thrown in – are marching on Westminster on September 19 at 12 noon.
