Maintenance Company Price Hike

Hi,
The maintenance company that looks after our building has upped their fees without warning. I have queried this increase and have been told they have received the go ahead by the freeholder. Is this legal without the leaseholders consent?
Thanks.

Sack them!
You can take the Leaseholder's Right to Manage at a relatively small cost. Your block then either manages itself or you can choose your own management company that charges a more reasonable fee.
What your freeholder charges must be reasonable. What reasonable is, is anyone's guess and the cost of taking the LL to tribunal to establish 'reasonable' would be prohibitive.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
