Section 20? Had this last year. We had the issue that managing agent, freeholder and contractor were all related parties. We got our own surveys done, got our own quotes for the work and then hired a QS to inspect the work periodically. Fingers crossed, everything has been Ok thus far. I'd get saving though, the bill for ours was c. £6.5k - windows, pointing, render and a little bit of roofing.

Interesting. How did you arrange this?
Agree - this is going to spendy. I'm just keen to make the sure the money gets spent well.

Major Works.
Despite owning leaseholds flats since 2008 I haven't been on the receiving end of MW.
Until now.
Looks like general renovation and preventative maintenance; roofing, pointing, windows, plumbing, communal hallway
In principle all of this work needs to be done, and the communal hallway renovation would be a massive bonus to us as it's massively crap and if done right will make our place much more appealing to a wider audience - when we come to sell it.
So. How do I make sure we don't get screwed over? What are the dos and don'ts when it comes to MW? What should I stay on top of?
