No you cannot refuse to pay it - it will be a question of when you pay, and how much not if.
Unless they catastrophically messed up the consultation for the works?

Been there. You have to pay. They’ll issue something called a “section 20” or something.

Did they follow the S20 consultation process, which is what they have to do for any works which cost over £250 per leaseholder.
If they've followed S20 (i.e. they tell you the scope of works, you have an opportunity to comment, they take your feedback on board, and they get some competitive quotes for the work) then there's not much you can do at this point.
If they haven't followed S20 then your liability is limited to £250. So it may be in your interests to let them do it, then tell them they didn't follow S20. A painful lesson perhaps.

Just received a letter from the property management co for my block who want £2000 for internal decoration work as the reserve funds won’t cover it apparently. This sounds insanely expensive. Can I refuse to pay it?
