Most people who live in flats know that managing agents can sometimes fall foul of what is reasonably expected of them and concerns about how the service charge money is being spent.
Sorry I've posted here because I can't think of any other sub-section that is more suitable.
Just curious to know if anyone has ever employed a solicitor, preferably no win-no fee to take a managing agent to court for fraud and mismanagement and whether it was worth them doing it?
I don't want to talk here about the whole back-story because it's really besides the point.
What I'm hoping to do is sit all the papers in front of someone that knows what they are doing and can decide if there is a case.
I've researched and looked into LEASE who are a government ombudsman who deal with these matters but I'm really confused about the legal advice they provide and it wasn't at all clear what to do next as it seemed to be my decision to do A,B,C,D etc, etc, ... which wasn't especially helpful. It also meant coughing up money, and I would rather pay out of any money I win back hence the no-win-no fee option.
Any advice is very welcome.
p.s. I'm not bringing a debate about managing agents.
