About the Role
At Hammersmith & Fulham, we are ambitious in reforming the Council to ensure this is a place for everybody. Within the Economy department, we aim to be efficient in everything that we do. We believe our residents deserve a place that is safe, clean and green, with high quality services they can rely on.
This is a new role at the heart of our plans to deliver a modern, trusted and resident-focused leasehold service. With around 5,000 leasehold and 11,000 tenanted homes, we are transforming how we support and engage leaseholders by creating a dedicated Leasehold Operations Team.

Reporting directly to the Leasehold Operations Manager, you will act as a key point of contact for leaseholders, providing expert advice, resolving complex issues, and ensuring compliance with lease terms. You will take ownership of cases from start to finish and work collaboratively with teams across the Council to improve service outcomes and resident satisfaction.
This is a varied and rewarding role where you’ll be responsible for a wide range of duties.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver a professional and responsive leasehold management service
- Advise leaseholders and colleagues on lease interpretation and obligations
- Investigate and resolve breaches of lease, and maximise revenue by raising Administration Charges as necessary
- Carry out site visits and inspections to assess compliance
- Identify and resolve lease anomalies, including tribunal applications where required
- Support legal action such as forfeiture proceedings when appropriate
- Manage Right to Buy applications and leasehold aftersales processes
- Maintain accurate records, reports, and building-level information
- Respond to queries and complaints from residents and stakeholders
- Contribute to service improvements through feedback and satisfaction surveys
Why Join the Leasehold Services Team?
