by Flatman78

Thanks Macromia, I'm hoping not to have to request quotes to include extra 'contingency' as I know some building materials literally jumped by up to 80% pretty much overnight and so I / we could end up paying a hell of a lot more than we have to go with a 'protective' quote.

It's only me...

Old managing agents accounts

by jazzythumper

Since obtaining the RTM and changing the managing agent, we have never been given full accounts / receipts for the previous year(s).

Building works & S20 process

by RichA

Hi. I have a freehold after selling a leasehold flat in a block of 4 flats. We don't currently have a managing agent, so these duties currently fall to me (I am holding off appointing a managing agent whilst the leaseholders consider whether they want to RTM).
