I live in a block of flats. In 2017 scaffolding was erected and we were advised work would commence within a few weeks, however two years past and not a workman on site (we were having the roof repaired as the flats above myself had caved in due to sodden wood. In the summer of the 2nd year work commenced and it took an entire 8 months to complete. In this time we had a five block of flats built opposite! It was an absolute joke. Very minimal contact throughout apart from on email which stated they insurance company was taking its time to accept the claim. Personally I don’t believe it takes two years for a claim to be confirmed.
so my main point, the roof is a communal area which was out of access to all residents for the entire three years. My balcony also had scaffolding on it for the entire three years giving me restricted access for the entire time. I couldn’t even open my balcony doors fully. They have awarded a each resident £300 and myself £400 for the inconvenience of the balcony however I don’t feel this is enough for the time is was out of action. Please could someone advise me if I’m right to push for more or if I’m lucky to have been awarded anything in the first place.
thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing your views on it,
