Thank you for your reply bud, the managing agent just says the same thing when I complained about it  "first come first serve" I'll have a look at the AST and get back to you, appreciate the help again

What does your lease or AST say about parking? What it doesn't say about parking is equally important.

Don't paraphrase anything. Tell us exactly what the wording in your lease/AST says.

What has the managing agent said about this? I'd hazard a bet that the managing agent for the property has some sort of agreement share the proceeds of these charges, where it is musical parking spots. I'd also hazard a bet that PCN doesn't actually have a valid contract flowing from the landowner because the head lease was never amended according to the requirements of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987, section 37.

Also Please note the driver does have a valid parking permit with PCM for the off road parking next to the property, but not one for the other side which is on the same development but just has a gate separating them

It’s an invoice for payment under the contract that it is claimed you entered into when you parked.
It’s enforced under contract law.

It’s not a fine, and yes!

Title: Challenging PCM fine with the IAS due to no parking available
Post by: suffan85 on May 24, 2025, 06:50:37 pm
Hi all,

Driver recently moved in to a new property and parking here is managed by PCM , unfortunately they do not have adequate parking for all residents, and also the local council is not giving me a permit as my property is registered for off road parking which PCM is supposed to provide, Driver Been back and forth with PCM regarding this issue complaining what they can do to help as Driver has no where to park except limited parking on the road also putting the Driver at risk of a parking fine from the council if the car isn't  moved within a certain time, only help driver got from PCM is "first come first serve" anyway there was a email the driver misunderstood, from one of their advisers where they thought they were advised they can park in another PCM enforced area to avoid a parking fine, this is basically just the other side of my development and the driver did park their and ended up getting a ticket,

Driver challenged the fine with them directly and as usual they rejected,  argument is there aren't sufficient parking for all the residents in their off road parking area, Driver now challenged with the IAS and they are offering them to enter a representative who can help with this case, before the 30th of this month before they go ahead looking in to this, who can actually help  with this? who Can they nominate to represent the driver? would it be through a paid service?

hope someone can help

thank you in advance
