Blackstone Solicitors were instructed by a local hot food business based in Poynton, Cheshire in relation to a dispute with the landlord of the building. Our client reported a gas leak to the landlord and National Grid in September 2015 which resulted in the closure of our client’s business for a number of months. Subsequently, our client suffered significant losses and sought payment of damages from the landlord for: loss of profits, loss of goods, cost of repairs to damaged equipment(s), loss of future profits for the business and damages for inconvenience caused by gas leak.
Blackstone Solicitors were instructed in June 2016 on behalf of a married couple who had purchased a property in September 2013 which was their main residence. The couple purchased the property for the sum of £225,000.00 and their former property solicitor advised them that the property was subject to a 99-year leasehold interest. After a number of years, the couple intended to re-mortgage the property and conducted a search on or around 2015. The search results showed that there was actually 56 years remaining on the lease, as opposed to 99 years and they were not advised of the impact of the short leasehold interest. This culminated in the couple being unable to re-mortgage the property due to the short lease and the mortgage payments increased. The couple attempted to remedy the situation by seeking to extend the leasehold interest and the freehold interest, however, the costs were substantial and sought legal assistance.
Settlement was reached and the couple received payment of 85% of the damages claimed in the court papers and legal costs. The damages paid for the purchase of the leasehold interest and the freehold interest and in the couples own words “All the advice, patience and support you guys have given us has been fantastic. We're delighted with the result.”
Blackstone Solicitors were instructed by a firm of debt recovery agents following a breach of contract by a merchant services provider (card machine) in respect of the percentage fees applied to transactions taken by way of credit and debit card.
Blackstone Solicitors: Successful Defence with costs awarded
Blackstone Solicitors were instructed on behalf of two individuals who had designed and built a property to a high specification. This unfortunately led to a dispute between the installer and our client and non-payment of fees for unsatisfactory works. After a number of months of trying to deal with the dispute themselves, the installer issued proceedings for a sum in excess of £140,000.
I have asked Nick Jackson on three separate occasions to handle the purchase and re-finance of a property. On all occasions, I have given him very tight deadlines to work towards and on all occasions, he has completed the transaction on time and with efficiency. He has made himself available to me at all times answering questions and returning calls. He is both approachable and affordable and burdened much of the stress. Something that I have not found to be as common, a practise as should be in these matters with other solicitors. I would like to thank Nick personally and your practise for their services and my continuing business.
Rokhsareh and Blackstone Solicitors are superb! Our joint bank account was closed recently, and I contacted Rokhsareh to see if she can help us. Her handling of the case and ability to resolve the matter in a timely manner impressed us. We particularly enjoyed reading Rokhsareh’s letters to the bank, and we got excellent results without even issuing a Court proceeding. We have no hesitations in recommending Rokhsareh and Blackstone Solicitors to other Iranians who've had issues with UK banks.
