Section 146 of the Law of Property Act is one of the most complicated and misunderstood sections of the Law of Property Act, yet is one of the most crucial for Property Managers to understand
The mere mention of Section 146 can strike fear into the hearts of many Property Managers. Forfeiture proceedings are an ancient common law remedy which are bang up-to-date with amendments which have been introduced by the Commonhold & Leasehold Reform Act 2002.
Getting Section 146 proceedings wrong can cause tremendous problems, not only for Property Managers, but for freeholders who may find that the remedy they wanted to rely on was no longer available to them.

It goes without saying that there is a huge emotional cost when couples divorce. However, you may have heard on the news today that many divorcing couples end up in debt as a result of divorce and subsequent financial proceedings.
We understand both the emotional and financial toll that divorce has on our clients, hence we have developed unique fixed fee packages, to provide our clients with certainty when they are considering exactly what the financial impact of divorce will be on them. We offer fixed fee packages for both divorce and also the financial aspect of divorce, known as ‘Ancillary Relief’. For more information, check out our fixed price divorce offering on our website.
Statistics released today have revealed that divorce rates for the over 60’s have increased dramatically.
The increase in ‘silver separations’ is down to various factors, as people are living longer and are more active in their retirement years.
Baby boom couples who have grown apart no longer feel the need to stay together ‘until death do us part’. This is largely down to a shift in the stigma attached to divorce. Couples are increasingly recognising that 60 is the new 40, and they still have a lifetime ahead of them.
However, couples that are considering divorce or indeed have already separated should obtain expert advice, as there are a number of implications that need to be carefully considered. It is usual that the matrimonial home and the couple’s pension provision will be their principle assets, and it is vital to obtain expert advice with regards to resolving the financial aspect of divorce, to ensure that the retirement years can be enjoyed to their full.
Every case is unique and needs to be treated as such. Divorce at any age can be extremely stressful and have serious consequences. It is vital to obtain professional advice so that you are able to plan for a financially secure future.
If you require any further advice or assistance in relation to divorce and the financial implications, please do not hesitate to contact Lisa Warden on 01788 532926 to arrange an initial free hour consultation.
