Major works charge

Major works are large one-off repair works, improvements or redecoration to your building or the area around your building.

They are different from unplanned repairs.

As a freeholder we’re responsible for maintaining the:

• structure, exterior and common parts of our buildings

• communal services and the estate

Leaseholders are usually responsible for paying towards the costs of any major works that are needed.

Freeholders with a house on one of our estates may also have to pay towards some of the works. Check your transfer of freehold.

The costs may be shared between:

• all the properties in a building or estate

• only among those properties that benefit from the work

All leases are different with different terms so check yours. You can request another if you've lost yours.
