The Leasehold Valuation Tribunal is an independent and impartial legal body that leaseholders and landlords involved in residential leasehold disputes can make applications. The Tribunal can, for example, consider whether the terms of a lease should be varied and disputes about the liability to pay, and the reasonableness of, a service charge.
Bron Afon will endeavour to ensure that all leaseholders are aware of their rights to apply to the Tribunal and will always seek to resolve any disputes that arise with its leaseholders, directly with the leaseholder(s) concerned in the first instance. This will include, but not be limited to, using the Leasehold Review Panel (senior management quality assurance mechanism) as an alternative route to dispute resolution and mediation.
Bron Afon may consider appealing Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decisions where we materially disagree with them, and we believe they expose Bron Afon to unreasonable expense.
