I know a lot of people are probably in this position but I wondered if anyone knew legally where I stand.
I am sick to death of the local council last year they made all the leaseholders buy a new roof to the tune of £3,500 each have no reason as to why & there was no problems with it in fact when they did change it they flooded the top floor flats doing it !
Anyway since then this year they’ve dropped it on us we all need fire doors according to new legislation which again I can understand but 5 years ago they pulled that one & flats had doors changed & my door was advised to be a really good fire door & just needed amendments to bring it Into line such as an arm on the door & a new letterbox which we paid to have done.
Now they are saying hey have had a fire risk assessment & all doors need changing ( they haven’t had any access to any property so how they could have done it I don’t know ) but my argument to it is I have a fire door already & so should everyone else as the council did it & when I advised of this they want a document to show who fitted the door (which I don’t have as it was so long ago) they have said if I don’t provide it they are charging me £1,800 for a new door & will break in & fit it without consent & give me the legal bill it’s just absolutely disgusting & ive just about had enough where am I suppose to find nearly £6000 in two years do they think we are made of money
