I was very sad to learn of the death of my Leasehold Knowledge colleague Louie Burns this weekend.
Louie was one of the country’s leading campaigners against the injustices of the leasehold system. He was, as they say, a larger than life character, and could light up any group that he joined.
I worked with him on the setting of the deferment rate, a subject on which he campaigned tirelessly. The world of leasehold will be a darker place without him, but the campaign will go on.
RIP Louie.
