I would love to hear from anyone else whose just received a ?20,000+ bill for Goshen Estate Warm, Dry & Safe Works in Camberwell.

Thanks for the advice Dame Dulwich, I like your style!

Yes that's the one, there is a playground yes...:) They are crazy high aren't they, thanks for validating.

Hello, Please to meet you. So it's a very ordinary 1940's maisonette in a block comprising 16 in total - 12 tenanted, 4 leasehold on Bethwin Road just off Camberwell Road opposite Burgess Park. They claim they need to do roof repairs, (I'm on the ground floor - I know I'm still liable but..), concrete and brickwork repairs, balconies and walkways, windows and doors, staggeringly not even new windows for that price, just changing the front entrance doors. The figures look bewildering. For example to supply and fix a new 'safety rail' on the roof is almost ?5,000, scaffolding/hoists are ?24,000, security alarms for scaffolding ?1270, removing satalite dishes, of which I don't have, ?960. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever disputed and won over Southwark Council, they seem extraordinarily aggressive..

Hello, Sorry I'm new here and wondering if by coincidence wondering if these are charges relating to the Goschen Estate for which I've just had a bill for ?23,000?

Hello, I'm new here, apologies if this case has already been discussed. Anyone else live on the Goschen Estate, Camberwell? I had a major works bill at the beginning of the year, but due to being out of the country for many months, come home to a nasty suprise. It's for ?23,759.22 for a 3 bed flat The major cost seems to be, confusingly scaffolding. Anyone else had this one?
