Yes, but they say that the directors and agent were the only attendees of these AGMs and approved the budget. I think the most straightforward way out of this now is to pay up and try to replace the directors.

No just invoices and a statement of the accounts in the post for 2019-2022. No public AGMs were held in this period either due to covid with a modest increase in fees in 2022, there are no records minutes etc. for these. When pushed these were then reconvened behind closed doors with no notice...

I hear you and I agree I'm not laying it solely on the agent everyone, particularly the directors bears responsibility however it was only with the sudden fee increase that all the previous failings and irregularities came to light. We've also been advised to keep the directors on side and not...

True but I would expect the agent to insist due process was followed, obtain several quotes for services and keep proper records and minutes etc. They did none of those things for more than a decade and when eventually pulled up on it they committed to do things properly in future and then...

Thanks for all the replies and info this far. Anecdotal but most non-active members I've spoken to are not happy with how the company is run. Now a 50% - 60% hike in the service charge without proper process and the agent responsible for this departing has left us in a mess. Given the sudden and...

Very very true it's only about 20-30 members who are active out of 400 or so. We had contemplated attempting to replace the directors however there is real fear that the company and accounts are in such a mess that whoever puts themselves forward becomes responsible for this. Is there any basis...

I've found the updated Constitution from 2017 and it has similar wording "No member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless all moneys immediately payable by him to the Company have ben paid" There was no notice for the repeated AGMs so we the members consider them invalid...

This is in the original Company Constitution from 2005 so I guess that's it. Even though the fees are in dispute anyone owing cannot vote at an EGM/AGM? "No member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless all money's immediately payable by him to the Company have been paid."

This is the crux of the disagreement changes to the service charge were never mentioned let alone approved at any AGM and when pressured on it 3 years AGMs were held on the same day behind closed doors with just the agent and directors proposing and approving the increases. Thanks for that...

Thanks for the info I'll request it. Is it possible they don't exist? I ask as we have been referred to the property deeds and the deeds of covenant when I've queried similar in the past. I have these and there is an obligation to pay the service charge but the consequences of not doing so are...

I'm a member of a management company where the members are in dispute with the agent regarding the validity of fee increases due to no AGM and/or vote being held. The agent has been replaced and a new agent installed however they now demand that all members pay the disputed fee or they will be...

I read in another thread that the developer must transfer the common areas in a MUD to the OMC before the OMC can charge fees concerning those common areas. Is this a correct interpretation? Would it apply to developments commenced before the MUD act but only completed recently?

Thanks, I'm still chasing my tail with them as they keep delaying and then sending the same docs, again and again, that reference the other docs I'm asking for!

I've two policies provided by my employer but am struggling to get any official documentation beyond the policy conditions, my employer says they don't exist and the broker who manages them sends back a PDF flyer detailing benefits or the policy conditions again when I request them. The PDF has...

Thanks that is great information

Wow I never thought it would be anything like 10k to get plans and permission. It would be complicated conversion as its a low hip roof so would need to be converted to a gable. No-one has done this in our estate to my knowledge but hipped and gable roof types are mixed throughout the estate so...

Thanks for the advice and comments all, I'm reassured now that doing something to improve our housing isn't a crazy idea. I spoke to the bank today and got similar advice re the mortgage 3.5 current income to a max of 540k. I'd be very nervous to take on anything like that level of debt though...

Thanks for the tip re the planning files I've found letters indicating that the bond is still in place though it seems small just 400k.

Thanks for the replies I've reached out to one councilor but will spread the net and contact several more and see if they can assist. The fear is that KCC won't challenge it and whatever bond is in place would be insufficient to cover outstanding works. Can an estate be partially taken in...
