Consultation
Depending on the nature, priority, and / or value of the works, we may have to carry out a consultation exercise before we can complete the works. This consultation exercise is important to show evidence of value for money and transparency in our processes. Any works proposed costing more than £250 per dwelling will first go to the leaseholder for consultation and approval in accordance with the Leasehold Reform Act 2002.
