Firstly, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you our leaseholders for attending the conference.

We would also like to thank Anthony Essien (Chief Executive) of the Leasehold Advisory Service www.lease-advice.org for a wonderful presentation and continued support at our conference.

This year we hosted our first ‘Residents Voice’ session which was presented by Dr Steven Lipworth, fellow leaseholder and Chair or the Wharncliffe Residents Association. Steven delivered a fantastic session which was very well received by the attendees and which has set a very high bar for the next conference. Thank you very much Steven for your contribution.

The top 5 areas of interest raised by the attendees were, in no particular order;

1. Lease extensions
