Why Liance Exists

Liance was built for the leaseholders left behind by legacy planning agreements.

Across England and Wales, thousands of residents are unknowingly bound by outdated Section 106 obligations, agreements drafted decades ago, often without regard for long-term residential realities. These clauses quietly block remortgages, stall sales, and prevent access to funding. Most people don’t even know they’re there, until it’s too late.

Liance exists to fix that.

We help leaseholders, agents, and councils discharge or modify historic planning obligations, turning invisible barriers into actionable, auditable outcomes.

Who We Work With

Liance works with clients navigating the friction of outdated planning obligations—particularly those tied to legacy Section 106 agreements that no longer reflect the realities of modern leasehold living.

We typically support:

• Leaseholders seeking to resolve historic planning obligations that may be blocking remortgages, sales, or improvements

• Managing agents looking for scalable, risk-aware frameworks across multi-block portfolios

• Councils exploring procedurally sound pathways to discharge or modify legacy agreements

We do not offer universal solutions, and we do not engage on newly drafted obligations that remain actively enforceable without precedent.

Our Story

Liance wasn’t conceived in theory. It was made in frustration.

It began with a single block, where a legacy Section 106 agreement was quietly obstructing progress. Residents couldn’t remortgage. Improvements were stalled. The council had no clear pathway. Legal advice was vague, contradictory, or risk-averse. Everyone was pointing fingers. No one was offering solutions.

So the solution was built from scratch.

What started as a workaround became a framework. Liance was born to solve the problem: To turn outdated obligations into actionable outcomes. To give leaseholders a way forward when no one else would.

What We Stand For

Legacy shouldn’t mean liability.
We specialise in outdated agreements because they’re the ones causing harm, and they’re often ignored.

Residents deserve clarity, not complexity.
We translate legal logic into persuasive, opt in communications that aim to protect everyone involved.

No one should be blocked by paperwork they didn’t sign.
Whether you’re trying to sell, remortgage, or unlock funding, we help remove the friction.

What We’re Not

Liance isn’t a law firm. We don’t litigate, and we don’t offer legal representation.

We provide consultancy grounded in planning logic, statutory interpretation, and operational feasibility. Our role is to help you understand what’s possible, document what’s defensible, and structure engagements that reduce ambiguity, not eliminate risk.

Every pathway is scoped before instruction, and outcomes remain subject to council interpretation and regulatory change.

Lets Talk

If you're facing planning delays, tangled leasehold obligations, or need a defensible framework that councils can work with: we’re ready.
