Schedule 2, Regulation 5 (2) CONSULTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFYING LONG TERM AGREEMENTS FOR WHICH PUBLIC NOTICE IS REQUIRED 4.-(2) :-
‘The proposal shall contain a statement –
(a) of the name and address of every party to the proposed agreement (other than the landlord);

In addition, in sending the Section 20 Notices by Second Class mail rather than First Class mail, leaseholders were given less than 30-days in which to make an observation – another contravention.

Havering Council can now charge leaseholders no more than £100 in any accounting period for the duration of the contract (QLTA) as this procurement is rendered invalid.
