I don't know anything about lpe1 forms

[user1471867483]

My mum owns the freehold of the property next door. She's 82 and has lived in our freehold house for 61 years. The leaseholders next door are moving and they slapped this lpe1 form in our hands to fill in with no solicitor cover letter, nothing. We haven't a clue what to do! I'm currently unemployed and mum being an OAP is on her old age pension. We cannot afford any legal fees. Then they're asking us if it's ok they give mum's contact details to their solicitor and I said of course not it's confidential! Why do they want to give out mums number and what can we do in this situation? I read it's not compulsory to fill in the lpe1 form anyway.

Why start another thread asking the same question?

It's a totally standard form that just asks for information.

As for giving your Mother's address, she's the landlord, of course they need it. How on earth can it be "confidential"

I'd just fill it in and return it.

The sign-posting on your other thread wasn't specific enough then OP?

Tell you what, send me your DM's title and I'll check it for free without indemnity insurance 🙄

Your mother owns a part of something that can be bought and sold, of course the other party and their solicitor needs to contact her during this process.

If your mother doesn't want to be contacted about it then maybe she should sell her interest in next doors property to the current owner, because this will happen over and over and over again. I assume you will inherit the freehold when your mother dies?

Get a one off consultation with a solicitor to go through the form with you/mother and stop being silly.
