How often are meter readings required ? Surely not that often. Expect some legal entitlement to be able to read meter.

Since you refer to Directors I assume there is a Company to direct. Is this the case ? If so, have you not had A.G..Ms when you could have raised issues ? If they are not using suitably qualified people and permitting breaches of lease they should be removed.
Have you got people willing and...

Regularly visiting the site does increase knowledge. Appreciate our lease required leaseholder to indemnify freeholder for costs incurred enforcing the lease. Leaseholder can't individually enforce it. We have several directors so majority decision.
I think fire risk probably best line....

Thanks Andy for extending my knowledge. I have always thought a lease is a lease. As I why is it not possible ? Also surely any legal documents should be enforceable. I appreciate you said virtually but I'm looking to learn. Thanks.

Not my usual way but from leasehold experience being accommodating usually leads to more problems. The lease must be followed exactly, otherwise why have one.

Sounds like nirvana. We have owned a flat identical situation to yours. As has been said, it depends on owners as, of course, the other depends on freeholder. Over 20 years it has varied hoever, on balance, I prefer share of freehold. I'm sure your new neighbours will welcome someone like you. ...

A serious situation. As Caplan 1 has pointed out there is an insurance risk. Also if unlicensed food production another significant problem.
I would engage a solicitor, with relevant knowledge, as soon as possible.
Selling in this situation is not an option.

Yes, you need to pay. I suggest the three of you get together and agree a procedure for work to be implemented, e.g quotes and monitoring of work.
Be proactive, planning for future work.

[scot22]

There is a serious underlying issue here. Your lease should clarify repair responsibility and how work is to be paid for.
I suggest ensuring you have a lease that is fit for purpose.

#7 second paragraph is correct. People need to work to make things work. Follow correct procedure and not indulge in complaining how unfair everything is....

[scot22]

Yes. It gives all leaseholder s the right to comment on the proposed works.

[scot22]

Yes. Leaseholders are also citizens and should have redress if there is a breach of planning conditions. Why was the condition put in ?

[scot22]

Isn't the disputed area demised to all leaseholders for use as visitor parking for five cars ?

[scot22]

I suggest contacting your local councillor. They should become involved and help to sort things out sensibly.

[scot22]

In #1 OP states it is within the boundary of the leased area. Therefore not retained for Freeholder to use for herself. If you lease a place with 5 visitor parking spaces that is what you have.
