I'd check the freehold agreement, but its my understanding that costs for any work are usually shared equally.
andyp-
Yep (caveat the Freehold Agreement).
We have to pay for the trees to be crowned every 3 years (although none are in our share of the garden), a share of the recent roof fixes (despite us being the middle floor).
Luckily, so far, all of the recent work has been done out of the freehold slush fund (which we all pay into each month) or the buildings insurance (for a roof leak).

we have a share of freehold, us being upstairs in a VC - the downstairs neighbour has been reliably informed by our neighbour alongside us that she has detected signs of subsidence. hardly surprising considering the age of the property. As far as i understand it, yer man downstairs is responsible for downstairs-y goings on and we are responsible for upstairs-y goings on, like the roof. In the event of structural work needing to be performed, am i correct in my understanding that we are not liable for any costs incurred should this require any immediate attention, or am i being laughably naive?
