There are over 23,000 leaseholder households in Southwark nearly a half of all the Council stock. Due to changes made by the council  LEASEHOLDERS ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHWARK LAS2000 is now the ONLY organization that promotes the interests of homeowners/Leaseholders and is the only one that is truly independent, run and funded by its members and Volunteers not the Southwark Council’s or its stooges or henchmen.

We are leaseholders and freeholders of Southwark ex-local authority properties and our aim is to ensure that Southwark Council, its agents and partners, provide US with a better service and better value for money and do not Rip us off.

We raise awareness amongst leaseholders as to how to oppose costly and unnecessary service charges and bills for major works. As well as now being the only independent professional body for leaseholders and freeholders of Southwark, LEASEHOLDERS ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHWARK LAS2000 is dedicated to improving services performance and professionalism.

What does LEASEHOLDERS ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHWARK LAS2000 do, and what do you get as a Member and why is it important:

•  Stands for the right of Leaseholders: Stand up against the Rip off fees. We are in a major works investment cycle, i.e. and costs, refurbishment of properties, some leaseholders have already received bills for upwards of £100k.
