Leaseholders
If you are a GCH leaseholder, our Handbook explains your rights and obligations under the terms of your lease.
Our Leaseholder Handbook gives a guide to our services for leaseholders, whether you have bought your home under the Right-to-Buy scheme or on the open market. It describes your rights and responsibilities as a leaseholder and our responsibilities as your landlord.
The handbook is a guide not a legal document, so if you have a legal question you will need to refer to your lease and seek your own independent advice through a solicitor or advice agency. But if you would like more information about a particular subject, please contact us.
At the end of the handbook, there is a list of useful telephone numbers and addresses for the council and other local services.
If you have a query about a lease or buying your home please contact the Leaseholder Manager by emailing leaseholders@gch.co.uk
