I would think the £500 excess on the Insurance Policy would be enough to encourage Shareholder's to do their utmost to keep their property in good repair. I do feel this thread is a distraction from the main issues and a symptom rather than a cause of this malaise. This esatate is large concern which would be an attractive proposition for more than one Management Company to bid for. Open tender based on the detailed information and a critique of same( the schedule of dilapidations undertaken by Tom and Chris)is surely the best way forward. A rolling contract with options to renew after competitive bidding is what we need. Nothing would prohibit R@R tendering. We have had at least 3 Managing Agents to date. I hope we resolve this before September so the AGM is a productive forum.
