Subject: Request for Representation – Instruction - Leasehold Dispute at 14–16 Carroun Road (KG Project Ltd)

 Dear Mr Paterson,

I hope this message finds you well.

Muneeb Malida has kindly referred me to you. I am seeking legal representation in relation to a leasehold/freehold dispute concerning 14–16 Carroun Road, Vauxhall, London SW8 1JT. I understand that you specialise in property litigation and would be grateful if you could confirm your availability to act, subject to conflicts.

By way of brief overview:

Parties: I act on behalf of the freeholder, KG Project Ltd. The leaseholder of Flat 14 is Mr Albert (Al) Sarpong, now represented by Wright Hassall LLP.

Issues: The matter concerns ongoing water ingress (roof/guttering/retained parts), historic emergency works carried out unilaterally by the leaseholder without consultation, and a resulting dispute over cost-sharing responsibilities under the lease (50% contribution to retained parts), Section 20 consultation requirements, and insurance.

Urgency: Wright Hassall issued a letter dated 3 October 2025 requesting proposals and insurance details within 21 days (by approximately 24 October). I have prepared a draft without-prejudice response.

If you are able to assist, I would be grateful if you could:

1. Run a conflict check against the parties: KG Project Ltd, Mr Albert Sarpong, and Wright Hassall LLP;

2. Propose next steps and your availability for an initial triage/strategy call this week; and

3. Share your terms of engagement, including hourly rates, any fixed-fee options for preliminary work, and whether funding/ATE insurance is something you typically explore in matters of this kind.

For context, I can forward:

A concise chronological timeline of key events; and

My draft “Strictly Confidential & Without Prejudice” response dated 6 October 2025.

Please let me know which preliminary documents (e.g. lease extract, relevant correspondence, photos, contractor notes, insurance schedule) you would find most helpful at this stage, and your earliest availability for a call.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Katerina Perepech
