Major works after RTB

Moore69

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.

Some of the houses in my area have had new roof tiles, I have asked them about this in regard to my RTB and they said some inspects them once per year.

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 this
