“I wish to thank Kavita, truly, for your expertise and kindness shown to me through this whole process, not forgetting your generosity. You fought well against an unforgiving foe, and it was decided in the end. Forever grateful.”

— Client of Kavita Rana

“Excellent. Kavita provided clear, effective advice to myself and five neighbours over an issue with the freeholder of our building. As a direct result of her guidance we obtained the delayed management accounts, resolved the issue over a sinking fund, and identified a way to work successfully with the building freeholder going forwards. The end result is a building that is now in excellent condition, with up to date accounts, and we have a good working relationship with the freeholder. Kavita’s approach of firm, clear communication, and knowing how and when to negotiate was perfect. Many thanks.”
