Oh well, that 's alright then.
As a single homeowner, it pisses me off in the extreme that I have to pay anything up to 7K (with a year to pay or take out a loan I don't want and can't afford) for work that is not required to the fabric of the building so my upstairs neighbour, sitting rent free, can have a nice new kitchen, bathroom and rendering, but can't be arsed to mow her garden. Great.
Only a couple of years ago, all three homeowners in the block (the last being a GHA tenant) put together and got a new roof put on, which will now come off because GHA say so.
