Nick Plotnek Associates - Surveyors, Valuers, Property Managers

About Us

Nick Plotnek Associates is a surveying, valuing and property management practice established in Birmingham in 1993, headed by Nick Plotnek llb, a local surveyor with over 26 years experience.

What We Do

The property rights of leaseholders are stronger than ever, but the complexity of the law and the procedures involved can make securing those rights a daunting and stressful prospect.

Our aim, as specialist valuation surveyors, is to provide the professional expertise and support needed by every leaseholder considering extending their lease or purchasing their freehold, with reference to the following major legislative Acts:-

   Leasehold Reform Act 1967
   Landlord & Tenant Act 1985
   Landlord & Tenant Act 1987
   Leasehold Reform, Housing & Urban Development Act 1993
   Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002

How We Can Help You

We provide advice to individual lessees, Residents' Associations and lessees' Management Companies, and explain the benefits of extending your lease or buying your freehold. Advice is also offered on block management, service charges, the role of the managing agent and the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal.

   Flat Owners
   Individual Lease Extensions
   Collective Enfranchisement (or Block Freehold Purchase)
   Block management, service charges and the Right To Manage

   House Owners
   Enfranchisement (or Freehold Purchase)

These are some of things we may do for you:-

   ◦ Check your eligibility to extend your lease or buy your freehold.
   ◦ Explain the role of professional advisors.
   ◦ Calculate the price for the lease extension or freehold purchase (the valuation range).
   ◦ Explain the circumstances in which you would be liable to meet the freeholder's costs.
   ◦ Discuss the financing of the total cost.
   ◦ Establish the purchase vehicle to be used in a collective enfranchisement.
   ◦ Estimate the likely timescale involved.
   ◦ Advise you as to your rights and responsibilities once notice has been served.
   ◦ Prepare and serve the appropriate notices on the landlord.
   ◦ Enter into negotiations with the freeholder.
   ◦ If negotiations fail, prepare your case for the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal.
   ◦ Represent you at the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal hearing.

So if you live in a flat or house and are concerned about what living in a leasehold property may mean to you, or you are considering buying your freehold or extending your lease, then just call us for friendly, professional advice. We are happy to discuss the matter with you in our offices in Harborne, or in the comfort of your own home if you prefer, at a time and day to suit you.

Where We Operate

Whilst we are based in Harborne and specifically cover the Harborne, Edgbaston & West Birmingham areas (including Halesowen and the Black Country), our specialist services are available throughout Birmingham and the Midlands.

Our Charges

Our charges will, of course, depend on exactly what we are asked to do for you, and are fully explained and agreed with you before we start.
