of money on cosmetics entailing a vast increase in quarterly demands for all Lessees, not just those that want to
spend it....and as regards LVT - best of British Luck, but as you well know, we both wouldn't nor couldn't stop that decision being taken or progressed - but I would strongly suggest you await year end accounts and consider the devil you know etc etc - Paul

Paul,
Thank you for the Insurance info.
Having read through all this, i would begin with letting you know i am not in anybody's "Gang", my interest here is to understand and try to help resolve the dispute that seems to be dragging on.
I am perfectly happy for you to remain managing this building, as long as it is done properly and with professional accounts. i have now had a look at the interior of Mitre House common parts, and to me they look in pretty good condition, they need to be redecorated, the floor clearly needs to be cleaned, ( i have a company which specialises in this type of work) and some carpentry work for the entrance and enclosing in fuze boxes etc.
I do not really understand what the problem is here, i would have thought that £20 - £30,000 should be enough to cover the cost.
The alternative to not resolving this, is an application to the LVT to settle the matter, which seems rather pointless, and will be costly.
For this reason i wanted to meet up with you, and go through the common parts, so that maybe we could reach an amicable decision for all, and get on with the work.
Regards Clp

Re: a trip around Mitre House's common parts - you're in Michele's gang now, so best you stick with her - I've had enough of intrigue, revolts, changes of mind and basically a thoroughly chaotic situation - it's simple, Management's £35,000 versus Michele's £60,000 with not a dot between them as regards items to be done - and standard of work - but admittedly, the vacuous opinions mooted that it must have a project manager or else the whole process will end in chaos.... that's rich coming from the idiots who think a coat of paint needs project managing.... it's pathetic and evidences just how little these people mooting these proposals really know or understand about both the simplicity of the works involved and indeed Interior Design - something I've been involved with for over 45 years.
As you well remember, prior to the meeting in June, and thanks entirely to me keeping you informed, with very lengthy gaps of any interest or acknowledgement, you finally decided that Michele and the two latest purchasers of Mitre House, had your support as regards hiring Agents, Design Style and contracting for £60,000 (which might now come as a surprise because Michele not only refused to advise her quote was ex- 20% VAT but produced a spreadsheet that defied belief outlining her quote (ex-VAT) but maintaining
