  • The lease does state that the garages are exclusively for the storage of a motor vehicle, that the majority are used as storage is ignored.

    I did post a message to the blocks Facebook page yesterday saying:

    "With internal combustion engined passenger car sales ending in 2030 what plans are there to provide charging facilities for electrical cars at [block of flats], in the car parking and within the garages?"

  • With internal combustion engined passenger car sales ending in 2030 what plans are there to provide charging facilities for electrical cars at Forest Croft, in the car parking and within the garages?

    Attempts to retrofit electric car charging will presumably become a nightmare in London leasehold properties. 50%+ of residents (or whatever car non-ownership is then) will say "screw you, I don't own a car and I don't want this expense"?

    I can understand why the directors have decided that the easiest / safest option is to do nothing.

    This.
    Building management companies don't like to get involved with individual leaseholder requests - too much work .
    They often have a large property portfolio and apply uniform rules/regulations to all property they 'manage'. They don't like leaseholders doing , for example repairs even if you could do it cheaper and (in your opinion) a better job.

    I can understand it, but - it's just going to mean that they end up trying to police a situation where flat owners have run heavy duty charging cables out of windows, snaking all over the grounds.
