was £25,121.54. You replied that: “£25,121.54 is the cost and installa5on of the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank with the balance remaining in reserves”. You very carefully avoid saying how much was actually spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank. But if we assume that the total amount spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank was the originally budgeted amount of £13,147 (£7,810 for the water tank and £5,337 for the communal TV/Sky), this would suggest the amount remaining in reserves is £11,974.54 and that the total amount spent on the project (including the sum of £31,765.21 which you have admiaed was paid by MHML to itself or to you or your sub-contractors) was £117,435.21, as set out below:
AR Lawrence
Surveyor
MHML/you/your sub-contractors Communal TV/Sky and Water Tank Total spent
£62,010.00 £10,513.00
£31,765.21 £13,147.00
£117,435.21
However if we assume that the total amount spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank was not in fact £13,147, but the whole of that unaccounted for figure of £25,121.54, (which is of course highly unlikely) then the amount remaining in reserves would be zero and the total amount spent on the project (including the sum of £31,765.21 which you have admiaed was paid by MHML to itself or to you or your sub-contractors) would have been £129,409.75, as set out below:
AR Lawrence
Surveyor
MHML/you/your sub-contractors Communal TV/Sky and Water Tank Total spent
£62,010.00 £10,513.00
£31,765.21 £25,121.54
£129,409.75
But the audited accounts have told us very clearly that the total “reserves u@lised” (ie meaning total money spent) on the major works in 2014 was £136,735 (ie £12,858 +£18,000 + £105,877). So please answer the following three ques@ons (without rambling digressions into past history, which are of interest to no one):
1.
2.
3.
If the total amount spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank was not in fact £13,147, but the whole of that figure of £25,121.54, (which as I have said is highly unlikely) please tell myself and the other lessees how the balance of £7,325.25 (£136,735 less £129,409.75) has been spent. Where did that money go?
If the amount spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank was (as seems more likely) the originally budgeted amount of £13,147, please tell myself and the other lessees how the balance of £19,299.79 (£136,735 less £117,435.21) has been spent. Where did that money go?
Please also tell myself and the other lessees how much was actually spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank.
We are en@tled to know these simple facts, and I would be grateful for your response by return.
