We were engaged by our client to review a number of properties transferred to them by assignment several years previously.

Challenge

To identify any excess monies due to the client on assignment or thereafter.

Constraints

The client's data around the time of assignment was poor for historic reasons and the Managing Agents were reluctant to provide information relating to the account of the previous tenant.

Resolution

We worked with the client to fully understand their documentation and the detail of the legal process they had followed to assign and renegotiate new leases.

We worked with the Managing Agents to explain our client’s rights to the benefits that were legally due to them on assignment of the tenancy.

Result

Our team were able to recover well over £140,000.
