We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new specialist solicitor within the firm’s Property Management team. Roger Hardwick, joins Brethertons from a law practice in the Midlands.
Roger’s sole focus is residential leasehold property. His work includes statutory lease extension, collective enfranchisement and right to manage claims; ground rent investment sales and purchases; freehold acquisitions under the Leasehold Reform Act 1967; residential service charge disputes and applications to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal.
Having qualified at a firm that acted for the successful appellants in a landmark lease extension case in the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber), Roger quickly established himself as an expert in the field; boasting a broad, national client base, including well-known plc developers, ground rent investors and resident owned management companies, as well as individual tenants.
His recent cases include the sale of a ground rent portfolio worth over £3,000,000, comprising 37 developments, across the country; negotiating a series of complex, disputed lease extension claims in an estate in Greater London; and managing a collective freehold purchase on behalf of the tenants of 33 houses and flats in a sought after conservation area in Devon.
Shaun Jardine explains: “We are delighted to have Roger on board with us. His breadth of knowledge really strengthens our already hugely successful Property Management team. Roger’s expertise in this niche area of the law will ensure that Brethertons can ensure a first-class service for our clients.”
