Leaseholder Information
What is a Leaseholder?
Just over 450 of our flats and houses have been sold to
Leaseholders under the 'Right to Buy' legislation. The Council
retain ownership of the freehold and we have certain
responsibilities to our leaseholders such as keeping the structure
of the building in good repair and providing services to the
communal areas, and we recover the cost of providing these services
from the leaseholder.
More information about the rights and responsibilites of
leaseholders is contained in the Leaseholder
Handbook and our 'Frequently Asked
Questions' page.

We have produced a booklet for Leaseholders which provides
