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.

Buildings insurance 182.62


Lighting and Electricity 42.67


Grounds Maintenance 60.89


Care and upkeep 161.21


Responsive (minor )repairs 64.55


Admin 51.19


Ground rent 10

------

Total 573.13






Estimate was 732.67 so have 159.54 credit.



Looks like you had a lot more repairs than us but we have been having Major Works going on with bills totally approx. 10 grand !!!!!

    • bizarre responses from everyone but Cancerian 🤷🏾‍♀️ As an LL resident surely a perfectly normal enquiry in that one might wish to know who to look out for if lawless/feral kids are wreaking havoc? any distinguishing marks on the perpetrators? presumably the objection is that a physical description might reveal the alleged culprits as non-white? (nothing else makes sense with this bourgeois over-sensitivity). same botched thinking that causes police descriptions of suspects on the loose to omit this info  (top way to protect the public / solve the crime) FYI i'm a mixed-race female and interested in THE TRUTH. hence, i want to protect myself & my family against criminals. so please DESCRIBE the physical appearance of criminals or suspected criminals to help to keep us safe. thankyou.  "underlying agenda... strange" 😂😂😂 strange agenda to wish to be safe in my community. well played 🤯   working the nightshift here & getting mildly obsessed/infuriated with the peculiar responses. someone please explain how wishing to be able to attempt to identify, physically, the perpetrator(s) of an alleged local assault is "strange", with an "agenda"? God help us. (wait... "God"? must be a far-right religious maniac)
    • Unless they were wearing school uniform with name tags otherwise children do change their clothes you know. 
    • I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all. 
    • You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.
