Hey guys so i have just been quoted £3000 for a dropped kerb and grass verge to be turned into a hard standing i was wondering can it be paid for in monthly instalments instead of paying outright ?, i am living in a private rented house

Mr.Generous

Quoted by who? If they say yes to installments then fine, if not look at a bank loan.

Does your landlord agree to the work being done and will they be contributing? Seems a lot to pay out for a house that isn't yours.

it was by st helens engineer, the landlord has agreed for the work to be carried out

My old man had a £2000 quote from his local Council and they told him he has to go with them by law, he got a payment arrangement with the Council from what i understand.

Normally the Council will want the full payment up front to avoid problems with non-payment.

The alternative for people who cannot afford to pay, but really need the work doing, is to put a charge on the property so they get paid when the property is sold. Is that a possibility in your dad's case?

A property charge wouldn't work in the OP's case as they don't own the property. It is also unlikely the council would accept a payment plan because as a tenant there is little the council could do to recover the money if it doesn't get paid.
