Example of Bills paid by leaseholders in other Boroughs (23 February, 2017)

Leaseholder fears ‘record breaking’ bills of £60,000+ for major works at Peckham Estate

Mathew Barber, who signed a mortgage for his flat in Ambleside Point in 1998, said he and other leaseholders were waiting for the bills to be issued.

In his meetings with council officers, having asked them whether it could £50,000 or more, he was told the total would be “in the upper bracket”.
But the authority told the News on Tuesday it did not yet have the full costs.

“I’ve been doing research into other cases of councils charging leaseholders, and I’m wondering if this could be the biggest charge ever made. We know this could be record breaking,” Mat said.
“We haven’t yet been told what the cost will be, but I’m starting to worry could it be up to £100,000?
“It’s all I think about now. This could mean me refinancing the rest of my entire life.”

Uproar in Oxford as 50 council leaseholders face bills of £50,000 each February 8, 2016


On January 4 2016, approximately fifty Oxford leaseholders were each presented by Oxford City Council a one-off service charge bill of around £50,000.

The council claims it is reasonable and fair for leaseholders to pay for a major £20 million regeneration project for the five high-rise towers located on the outskirts of Oxford.

Shell-shocked Oxford leaseholders responded by forming the new Oxford Towerblock Leaseholder Association to fight the council on the proposed costs.
The issue has been reported in the Oxford Mail here
The scheme, which launched eight years ago initially as a simple refurbishment project costing £4.7 million, has mushroomed into a £20 million major building works programme. The leaseholders claim that since a refused freedom of information request in 2008, Oxford City council has consistently refused to disclose proposed costs to leaseholders.
