Given lots of advice from a very knowledgable , polite , young man . However , there was to be a follow up email from him to confirm our conversation . Still waiting , hence only 4 stars .

Thank you for your review. We’re pleased the adviser was helpful and appreciate your feedback on the advice provided.
Simplistic and useless
Simplistic and useless. They are unable to deal or advise on cases that are serious. Their online advice on how to deal with a freeholder that has caused extreme levels of damage and exposed a leaseholder to serious hazard is extraordinarily minimal and inadequate. Their written advice, for which I waited two months, was also shockigly useless. It just looks that they cannot be bothered to address this very serious issue. Even they misrepresented the leasehold reforms

Thank you for your feedback, Edy. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service you received.
Waiting two months for written advice is much longer than we aim to take, and we apologise for the delay. We’re also sorry that you felt our advice did not address the seriousness of your concerns.
Please contact us at info@lease-advice.org if you would like us to look into your experience further.

A very mediocre experience
Despite positive reviews, my experience with the Leaehold Advisory Service has been rather mixed. I had a telephone call with them which was very helpful. I followed that up with more details, as requested but received a reply that did not address the specific question, in addition, the reply went off at a strange tangent that bore no relevance whatsoever to my query. I wrote again, and received an email chastising me for exceeding the 500 character limit (my word count, however, reveals the entire text of my message to contain only 48). In summary, far less help than a free half hour consultation with solicitor. I have found the Leasehold Avisory Service avoident and not actually giving very much in the way of advice which is a great shame as there is a societal need for the service.

Help given was useful. Constant retpeated breakdown of lifts causing imobile occupants to be stranded for days.
