Management Company - slow response to maintenance issues, holding up sale

KennyH1

We have an apartment that is managed by a management company. We have raised 2 issues that fall under the control of the management company and they have not progressed with any site visits or repairs. We are also in the process of selling the property and the purchaser will not compete until the works are completed. 

Timescale below

9th July - Issues raised with ManCo 
15th July - Man Co confirmed works fall under their control and requested contact details to arrange access to obtain quotes.  
10th September - Man Co confirms quotes received to view the works but are awaiting comparable quotes. 

I have chased on a regular basis but the ManCo / their contractors are yet to attend to view what works are required.

What can i do to speed up the process?

All you can really do is chase the management company.

Or I guess you could threaten them with legal action, such as...

• Getting a court order
• Applying to a tribunal to have a building manager appointed

Or threaten to report them to their redress scheme (e.g. the Property Ombudsman) for poor service

What is the work?

Why do the buyers want it done before completion?

Is this a section 20 consultation?

How much will each leaseholder have to contribute to the cost of the work?
