Nope, unless when you bought the flat the council gave a guarantee when your solicitor made enquiries about future major works that there would be no works whatsoever carried out within the following 3 yrs.
It's quite normal when living in well kept ex local authority blocks to have to fork out for maintanence, repairs & redecoration of the communal parts every 2 years or so.
Looking at your signature, looks like your wings will be clipped somewhat due to your share of the payment.
The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
