A leaseholder in the building where I have my flat is refusing (without giving a reason) to contribute to the monthly maintenance fund. The agreement with the freeholder is that we maintain the building.Is the way forward to put a charge on his flat or is there a better alternative?

Most solicitors who work with property and leases will be able to take on this kind of debt collecting activity as a routine matter. It happens all the time and usually can be easily dealt with by a professional experienced in chasing the debt.
The professional can also check that the demands are being made correctly.
