Just to add to the listed building points - My place is a grade 2 listed block of leasehold apartments and so we are dependant on a Building Management company for maintenance . This Building Management company are terrible and do the very minimum of upkeep. They are very good on covering themselves e.g. fire regs but otherwise hopeless. It is more managed decline of an old building and the excuse they use for delay to general repairs is often the fact that it is a listed building so , for example getting matching brickwork/tiles/window frames etc is not 'straight forward'.
Listed+leasehold+building management co = wouldn't do it again.
