What are leaseholders consulted on

A proportion of the cost of large scale works is rechargeable to you as a service charge under the terms of the lease.  As the costs associated with major works can be significant, the law requires us to carry out formal consultation with leaseholders in particular circumstances.

If the individual cost to you is likely to be less than £250, we do not have to formally consult regarding the works.

If your flat is in a block of four with two flats upstairs and two flats downstairs, we will be able to carry out works up to the value of £1,000 (4 x £250) without formal consultation.  If the estimate for the work is more than £1,000 we will carry out formal statutory consultation.

This is your legal right and is called 'Section 20 consultation'
