bed - most importantly to receive a copy of the quote from Michele Sigg's people (based on correct specs as supplied to them). We are in correspondence with her re: internals and I can't finalise computations until we see her people's estimates versus Surecast's - thanks.
re: Accounts queries outstanding
Electrical repairs £2690 - was that Matrix re: basement install of new fuseboxes etc? Very high.
Matrix seem to be on a very easy wicket charging £260 to simply re- glaze one small windowpane - and replacement drainpipe for £1365 (it was purely 2 cuts and an insertion piece) and electricity repairs and fitments £2655 - that windowpane should have been done for much less than even £100 at most so can we keep a closer eye on tradesmen invoices in future when they seem unreasonable as would any householder in same situation - £260 for a windowpane could incur a visit from that TV programme that identifies Rogue Traders! You could have replaced the entire door with windows with a brand new door for £260 - it should be queried with Matrix as at present they seem to be able to present any invoice they wish without someone checking it for reasonability. £260 to replace a small windowpane in a door is ludicrously high.
Locks keys and door repairs £324 - on whose behalf - I think should have been charged to offending tenant.
Drain cleaning & maintenance £1366 - whatever they did had no effect?
Light Bulbs £116 - that's one helluva lot of light bulbs - I know of 2 that went at around £5 each.
Legal Fees - that sounds like chasing slow service charge payers again and was at the centre of a long dispute some years ago - any fees charged should be paid by defaulting tenants, surely?
I note your reply re: expenses this current year, namely Since the 1st January we have spent a total of £947 on electrical repairs and drain cleaning.
Electricity query:
Electricity for Mitre House (British Gas) - it is noted that on the Service Charge Expense Detail Report for year ending December 2008 items for the Electricity account are not detailed with Inv. Numbers so as to be easily identified (as they are on the accounts for year ending December 2009) - could I please see a copy of the six items listed as they seem alarmingly high at an overall £1794 - there should be two quarterly bills as we have 2 meters which equates to 8 bills to see - only 6 are listed and without correct reference, invoice no. etc are impossible to check properly.
