Major works after RTB

Just needed some advise on where I stand.
I brought my property under the RTB scheme in 2014, In the documentation was a part where as a leaseholder they had to notify me of any major works within the next 5 years and the cost to me. Here I am 2 1/2 years down the line and been sent a letter stating the lift is to be replaced starting 10th July at a cost to me of 6k!! the lift was never mentioned in this document only the replacement of windows and doors (which had already been replaced 4 years prior. Does anyone know where I stand legally with this?

Did they have plans to do the works 2.5 years ago? If not then they couldn't have disclosed them to you.0

I have just re looked at the documentation it does mention the lift but it states My contribution would be £1389.95. Researching this it seems that they cannot charge me any more than this0
