HorNet – Stop the Rot! Adopt the Lot!
Justice for all residents on privately managed estates.
Here we have another case study from a HorNet member, followed by an interview by a HorNet spokesperson. Aired on 10th July 2017.
Listen here:
And on 27th October 2017 an item about the councils’ role in enabling the Private Estate Model:
Calling freeholders to check their deeds (TP1) for covenants referring to the rent charge owner having a right of entry to the property – see below for an example:
Even if the right of entry isn’t specified in your deeds if a rent charge is in place the right exists, so please let us know if you have either or both in your TP1. You can email, or simply comment on this post. If you have already voted on the FaceBook poll, please don’t send us the information again to avoid double counting! Thank you – have a good night’s sleep – TP1 reading is very good for insomnia!
This “right of entry” actually means a statutory lease can be taken out on your property if you don’t pay the rent charge and associated service charge.

Fame at last! We a delighted to say that our first national media item was broadcast by R4 You and Yours consumer program on 26th June 2017.
It would be great if as many people as possible contact the program with their own stories – it is clear that more of us need “to come out of the woodwork” as the presenter says. Here is the link.
