Back to EpisodesHackney Leaseholders Trapped by Freeholder's Debt
Description
Leaseholders in Hackney, London, face a property sale nightmare due to their freeholders unpaid debts. The freeholder, Restoration Hackney Limited, owes the council £850,000 in developer fees, leaving leaseholders potentially liable. Families like Richard Bell and his wife Anna are trapped in their cramped flat, unable to sell or expand. The councils pursuit of the debt has led to legal action, but leaseholders remain in limbo, with no clear resolution in sight.
