  • they want 140k-17k my share which is frankly taking the piss when it’s actually only one quarter of the roof over one flat with 3 dormers where there is a leak that has been bodged

    Remember you can challenge the scope, applicability, and necessity of major works using the Section 20 process. You can also nominate contractors. We were able to reduce the scope of our major works because the freeholder was trying to put in improvements when our lease only allowed repair. £500 with a leasehold specialist lawyer can save you tens of thousands.

    That'll go even more if you can prove that the leak is as a result of a specific leaseholder with a trace survey!

  • The roofer has said “I deal with this all the time, management companies wanting leaseholders to pay for unnecessary work”
    Hopefully we can get him to visit and recommend the scope of work needed to fix the dormers and not £140k of new roof
