What is a Section 20 consultation?
By law, we must consult Leaseholders before carrying out works or entering into a long-term agreement with a contractor which exceed certain values.
This is often called ‘Section 20 consultation’ because it was introduced by Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (as amended by S151 Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002).
The consultation process which must be followed varies depending on the circumstances. These are detailed within The Service Charges (Consultation Requirements) (England) Regulations 2003.
