Hi Mark Elvin, I am a leaseholder too - and I am concerned about the scale of Major Works charges that might be scaled against me - We are slotted for work in 2014. I wondered - for the ?27,000 can you say (a) what specific works are being undertaken (e.g., new windows, roof overhaul, etc.) and how large your property is (e.g., 1 or 2 bedrooms) as I realise that makes a difference when charges are made. I am concerned you are only given four months' notice ... for such an ENORMOUS amount ... even acknowledging that they do have payment plans over a number of years - three I think - without interest. It is, I think, not long to make the necessary fiscal arrangements - especially in these challenging times. Your kind advice will be appreciated. Cheers, Meunier
