services charges for leaseholders Southwark Council


ontheedge

Recommended Posts

Just received a bit of a shocker bill for actual charges for 2008/2009. Double the amount predicted already paid ?791 now they are asking for another ?630 for responsive repairs.

I am sure this is more than what must leaseholders pay to private leaseholders where there is a sinking fund.

Has anyone else received a bill they are not happy with?

yes me, I am being asked for service charge now even though when I bought the property Southwark council gave me assurance in writing that no service charge was payable. Not only that but my property is a street property and not part of the estate for which I am being charged a service.

Bit crap, gonna have to embark on legal stuff I can't afford.


The council should give you a breakdown of the exact costs and how they are apportioned so at least you can see what they're charging you for.

I've asked for it but funnily enough they haven't got it on their system yet! Last year paid an extra ?480 on top of the ?760 I had already played didn't question it but this year by god I will whats worse they want the money within a month of receiving the bill so December 25th great timing.

There is a breakdown which goes

Building insurance: ?182

Heating 0

Entryphone:?7.16

Lighting & electricity: ?5.33

Estate ground maintenance:?250

Care & Upkeep ?152.73

Responsive minor repairs: ?685.15

That's the one that gets me as I can not think of any that have been done nor are they able to tell me as they don't have it on their system yet


Total charges ?1,421.29


The care and maintenance comprises of a mop being wiped over the floor every one to two weeks


The estate ground maintenance means the grass is cut on a less than monthly basis there are some rose bushes and shrubs to the front which were allowed to get totally overgrown as not pruned for 4 months until I complained and arrived home to a massacre.

I guess I was asking is anyone in the same position and complaining as I definetly intend to do.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
