And before anyone else comes back with ridiculous ignorant comments here's a list of examples of stupid and or retarded ones - re: email this a.m. from Flat 9 which, from some quarters, namely Maria, it appears some other lessees are in TOTAL sympathy and agreement with....? You could NOT possibly have read it...! But suggest you do this one - take it on holiday and read on a 12 hour flight.
See how many queries you can answer yourself from the hordes and hundreds of emails Management have sent as information or in replies since 14 July 2011....(my comments in brackets if need arises or to push home the point) - and name me one item here that hasn't been replied to in previous emails or hasn't been uploaded and advised as such on our website (www.mitrehouse.org) and I'll donate my £2000 to the lucky winner.
As per previous warnings, rescheduling of intended works has been instigated and no lessee need pay their £2000. I get mine back thankfully until it's lost as above - but it's safer than the Bank Of England I can assure you.
Replacement Tank cost is £7810.80 incl. vat (see attached quote) - yes, more that what I feared £5000 odd - but needs doing fast - see photos attached - don't brush your teeth till done.
i)_We asked for professionalism and transparency, which continue to be missing to date: the website disproves that (www.mitrehouse.org)
ii)_Who is really performing the internal and external works? Who is receiving payments and when? (A.R. Lawrence x 2, when is not your concern)
iii)_imposing or performing works none of us agreed (TV aerial) - (most were agreeable to a communal tv install we thought)
iv)_you had excluded (Lift) - (the lift was never in the Surveyor's Specifications and not quoted for by A.R Lawrence in £105,019) (www.mitrehouse.org)
v)_How have the works been prioritised? (Works schedule sent twice)
vi)_What is the status of the electricity and telephone wiring at the building? Does it comply with current rules and regulations? Can you please provide relevant certification? (yes complies, yes PIR Cert done. Yes Michele requested same - despite having received twice previously - ask her)
vii)_How is it possible that we discover such a large liability of the water tank in the middle of the works rather than before starting? How have you instructed the surveyor? (tri-annual test/visit happened to coincide with scheduled works - lucky!) The Surveyor has zero to do with items outside of the schedule of works - it's a management responsibility like the PIR Electricity Cert, like the Fire Regulations cert, like the Lift Safety cert - it's called Health & Safety (H&S)
viii)_TV aerial: the reference was to sky satellite dish, (vetoed by Flat 5 years ago then again recently - but worryingly, she's happy with Communal TV which does actually include a satellite cable for future use if needed - ALL as described in detail, cost, payments next year etc in emails - so how come all these stupid queries yet again - refer back to one of the 20 virtual emails received last week as you insist - must be there somewhere)
ix)_The Lift (quoted at £9669 plus vat (see attached Kone quote), not included in Surveyor's Specs, done by Management for £200 odd - Michele likes the colour! - all other comments are stupid, irrelevant and ignorant - and dark grey or black requested 'cos it won't scratch or show dust is without doubt retarded! And yes, I decided the colour, did the work and paid for the paint. And your pathetic photos showing usual errors still needing fixing (and are being) is typical of your ignorance of workings and schedules - just nit-picking to cause mischief - juvenile and very un British.
x)_Scope of Works and costs (Surveyor's Specs, A.R. Lawrence, £105,019 - www.mitrehouse.org) xi)_Savings here and there (you'd have to ask a psychiatrist to get an answer to that - either you wish to make savings or you do not - Management does on behalf of those lessees who are not stupid or retarded) xii)_Water Storage Tank (it's called force majeure - just bad timing coming when you're refusing to honour agreements to pay - could happen to anything at Mitre House, the Lift, the various pipeworks, the electrics, the plumbing etc etc - that's why we have to have spare capacity in the Reserves)
xiii)_Safety & Security - (answered above (iv) and (vii) - you must think we are stupid and retarded to live and work in a dangerous environment)
xiv)_Our Windows (no problem but totally unbelievable - you were just snooping (as you did with the Grangewood Quote when you kept them waiting 24 hours and then did same again being late for A.R. Lawrence - just wasting everybody's time as usual) and previously had the audacity to request of me impertinent queries as to my personal works association with A.R. Lawrence. You even enquired of me if the interior windows were included? Another very ignorant query if you understood exterior renovations properly especially after your experience above Byron - didn't you learn anything?)
xv)_Managing Funds (only Flats 3 and unbelievably, Flat 5 have paid their usually requested £650 each (retaining their £2000 donations) meaning there is no money in the service charge to pay the Insurance -
therefore (which is the norm), money is taken when required from the Reserves to pay for items needing
