Areas of Law / Property

We live in a block of flats. A management company administers the common areas and now wants to rename the block. We like the name and wonder whether they can change it. Would they, for example, have any authority to levy maintenance charges on flats with names other than those stated in the lease?

Unless there’s something in your lease about the naming or re-naming of the property, which I think is unlikely, this is probably something that can be decided on by majority vote of the residents. You would have to agree the name of a street or estate with the local authority. However the management company would doubtless still be able to collect its charges whatever the property was called.
