  • Although my stupid flat is on the market, the management company are ignoring/not responding to my communications about issues with noise.

    I've sent them a copy of the clause in the lease which talks about the need for "carpet or suitable flooring" to minimise noise in the building. And have asked them communicate with the owners of the flat above me, in order to ask about getting carpet put down.

    Anyway. No response for 4 weeks now. Am I within my rights to withhold service charges?

  • The rule with Service Charges is that you pay them first and dispute them later. Threaten 'em with the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal!

  • Problem with threats is that you have to have the ability to follow them through, and with the property on the market you almost certainly do not.
