I'm looking for some advice?! I recently received an invoice for over £3,500 for 'exterior repairs and decorations' from countrywide.
This has been split from over £200,000 for all the flat owners, one block of flats somehow excluded for being owned by another management company. It is also due in 3 months, not long to raise that sort of cash.
I can't see how on earth the cost is this high and I don't see why I should be having to pay towards it, especially the ludicrous figure. I've hardly seen any decoration or repair in two years that could lead to such a high charge.
Other than requesting a breakdown of the cost and seeking help from the Citizens Advice Bureau I'm unsure what to do. Seems going to a tribunal is going to cost £500 or so and that in itself is a lot!
Any advice would be appreciated?!
