service charges:
This is how the service charge has changed over the last few years (2017-18 = £1,800 / 2018-19 = £1,900 / 2019-20 = £2,300 / 2020-21 = £2,600 / 2022-23 = £4,500 (approximately). Since the (paid for) remedial works were identified the cost of the buildings insurance has inflated above average. Once the remedial works have finished (anticipated 18 month turnaround) then the buildings insurance will reduce again, which will impact by reducing the service charge back to a normal level.
Notes regarding the EWS1:
As per recent legislation the block has had a survey for an EWS1 (External Wall System Fire Review Certificate). This has identified remedial works that need to be carried out, the whole cost of which has been underwritten by the original developer (i.e. Of no cost to flat owners). The work is anticipated to be started in the summer of this year. The developer has an underwriting declaration which they will issue to any potential buyers' lenders should it be necessary.
