£19,000 bill for work I can have done at half this price
• IF as an Islington leaseholder you sign up to a plan to pay off your charges for major works, you forego the right to dispute any of the charges. If you don’t sign up to a plan you have to pay within 14 days and then dispute them, which can take a year, with no guarantees at the end of the process.
I have been presented with a pre-bill estimate of £19,000, which I will challenge as I have obtained quotes for half that amount and it is clear, following meetings with Homes for Islington (HfI) and the consultancy firm managing the project (and pocketing an 11 per cent fee of the total charge), that HfI and leaseholders are being stitched up. > more |
