Our place is share of the freehold and comes with a parking space,plus we were told by agent there are also guest parking spaces. Since moving in we have been told by the director of the management co. (one of the residents) that all spare spaces have been let to others who do not reside in the block, but nearby. Parking is scarce in the area and his claim is that this offsets our service charge (which is low but no evidence of what it is spent on). We have not been presented with any accounts detailing service charge would be X but thanks to income of xyz fee is reduced to £? We dutifully (stupidly?) Arranged the payment of service charge to the director upon moving in. No mention of meetings reviews. All units privately owned but almost all are let out. So guessing the landlords couldn't give two hoots about lack of visitor parking, but we do. Add in that some non residents double park 2 cars, meaning reduced space for us .
Is there a diplomatic way to raise this without causing a YABU/ bad neighbour situation? I do believe we should have regular meetings to agree what the service charge is spent on. Would appreciate input from those who have experienced this/ similar issues re: share of freehold or anyone with knowledge of the law I'm this regard tia
