switching from communal to individual boilers

Noqlu

I am part of a RTM group in a 24 flat block. The old communal boiler heated the stairwell , one radiator in each flat and provided hot water to each flat. This is in line with the lease, which obliges the landlord to provide communal heating and hot water. The boiler has now come to the end of its life....

I think it's time to change the leases.

Just what to will take some discussion and negotiation with the leaseholders.

It is probably not that simple as you say but of the 24 flats 10 already have boilers, so I don't think it can be that difficult.
There is gas supplied to each flat.(or most flats as far as I know))
The freeholder has already commented that replacing the communal boiler doesn't seem like...

I bet it ain't as simple as each flat buying their own boiler though. Boilers have to go near an exterior wall, plus of course you'll need to run a meaty(er) gas pipe to each flat. Will freeholder allow flues to be punched through the wall of each flat? Presumably the floors will need ripping up also...

Cost of varying leases < (Cost of communal boiler - 24 * Cost of personal boiler)

Nett saving to leaseholder in varying lease =

Cost of communal boiler / 24 - Cost of personal boiler - Cost of varying lease / 24 >> 0

The cost per leaseholder of varying the lease is likely to be less than the saving in going to individual boilers.

Thank you for your reply, but I'm not sure what it means. If everyone installs their own boiler (plus cost of consulting a solicitor to vary the lease) it will surely be far...

Well I think that whoever quoted £200k obviously doesn't want the work. As I said before, get some other quotes.
