Debt for external works

[littlemissd]

Wondering if someone could provide me with some advice. Lewisham Council are trying to charge me for a bill back from 2005 I only brought the property in 2006 they then say there is another bill from 2010 which mounts up to nearly 5,000 for external works. Wondering if you can advice?

when you bought the property the solicitors should have covered off if there were any outstanding leaseholders costs.

If they did - and they weren't identified you would have a point. Follow up with lease-advice.org

If they did and they were known - that 's different as you would haev known you were taking on the debt.

The lease advice website is really useful. Shelter can also advise - or point you in the right direction
