Major works charge

We must send you a Section 20 consultation notice for:

• any major works under that will cost you more than £250 a year

• long term agreements for services that will cost you more than £100 a year

Most section 20 consultations are carried out in 2 stages. This does not apply to any works under a long-term agreement.

Stage 1

First we send you a 'notice of intention' which will include:

• a description of the work
• reasons for carrying out the work
• an invitation to comment on our proposal
• an opportunity for you to nominate a contractor to tender for the work in some cases
• relevant documentation relating to the proposed works

You have 30 days to send us your comments on the works.

Stage 2

We then send you a 'notice of proposal' which will include:

• estimates received for the works
• an estimated cost to you
• a breakdown of costs for the building and/or estate
• an invitation to inspect the contract documents

You have 30 days to send us your comments on the works.

Section 20b

Sometimes we may also send you a Section 20b notice. 

This is to tell you how much we've spent so far when we do not yet have a final calculation.

Get in touch

The Section 20 Notice will include contact details for you to get in touch.

The officer dealing with the consultation for major works will be on your notice.
