Thanks for the call, Michele - (if you fully read this whole long email you will appreciate that I have done everything I could possibly do as explained in our telephone conversation - AND, Julie Freeman has more holidays, days off work, automated email replies than any human being I've ever come across) - yes, we all agree to the council house look of Mitre House, but a discussed, the problem is the comings and goings plus constant refurbishments of the various sub-let flats and recently, the sale of Alison's flat which was totally refurbished over 6 months with usual resulting damage to lift, floor and common parts - it is this frequent , unavoidable, damage to common parts by incoming, outgoing and refurbishing tenants that brings we live in tenants to the conclusion that it is a waste of money to tart up the whole place, make it beautiful and then with the first incoming, outgoing sub-let tenant, the common parts are scarred yet again. Let alone another flat being refurbished (with indeed, me proposing to do mine this year). As discussed, it's not the fault of the actual tenant/owner etc - but the removers, builders etc who couldn't give a damn for damage caused - and having the agents (Julie Freeman) attempt to police the place by writing to offending owners simply does not work - as again discussed, if you received a letter from saying your most recent outgoing and incoming tenant has caused damage to common parts and it requires £1500 to put right, you'd object etc -
So, as previously outlined to you - we are not willing to proceed with anything at Mitre House other than the minimum decorations required under the terms of the leases - namely a coat of paint everywhere and we'll go for one colour only as that's easier and cheaper to fix when the next dame occurs - so, no lift refurbishment, no floor cleaning etc - and yes, we would all love to live in a lovely decorated, clean, smart place but that's not possible unless we all live here to police the place together.
Flats 1, 3, 5, and 6 are all sub-let (although Flat 3 may have live-in owners as they have recently purchased off Alison and have refurbished - so not sure as sub-letters or live-in owners)
