East Dulwich Estate Questions

[andyg]

Hi everyone

Myself and my partner are buying in the East Dulwich estate and were going through the Solicitors checks when we were told that the service charge for 2015/6 was over ?3000, when previously they were under ?1000. I was wondering if anyone could answer any of the following questions:

1. I did a search on the forums and a post mentioned someone called Steve who acts as a representative to the estate. Is this still the case (the thread was from a few years ago), if so, is anyone aware of how I can get into contact?

2. Does anyone have experience of Southwark service charges? How are they in springing surprises?

3. What are the planned works, I understand most has been completed (windows etc) - is it just general landscaping and improving?

Thanks, we are moving from (renting in) Peckham so very excited about moving, but obviously dont want to get stung.

Thanks

Andy
