I presume the problem of who pays for the expensive work that only some of the owners/occupiers in a block want/can afford remains.

Yeah, I'd love to know if there's a solution that doesn't involve either depending on the agreement of your neighbours (who, as we know, are bastards) or outsourcing it all to a faceless corporation (who are double bastards).

One thing I think we lack in England, and maybe other bits of the UK, is secure long-term rental. Something like a 10 year lease with controlled rent rises so you have some certainty while the roof remains someone else's problem.
