Hi, over the last few years, I have had a problems with my joint freeholder. For the last 15 years there has been roof leaks and we had some repairs done around 2016 but I got another leak a few years ago. Instead of ensuring the roof is watertight, the joint freeholder is trying to force me to pay for non-essential work in hallway (tiling, new door and repainting) which will come to approximately £3K. We keep going around in circles and I want to suggest a mediator again (ideally with a property solicitor). Key reason is joint freeholder is also solicitor, so needs to be someone who has expertise of leases. I have proposed a managing agent for maintenance for the building or a declaration of trust but they wont agree, so we are unable to move forward. We are just two flats in one house and trust has completely broken down. I think they are trying to make life so difficult that I sell, so they can do an extension. I love my flat but I am not in a situation where I can move. Can anyone suggest a mediator that can help us find some common ground? Any advice welcome and DM if you prefer. -
This problem has been going on since before Covid due to the closure of the Dulwich sorting office. The local MP Ellie Reeves is aware and has written to the Post Office. They give the same generic responses about 'temporary' staffing issues. Would encourage people to email Ellie Reeves. It's about time this was finally resolved! -

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Fwiw, we received a regular letter this week. Maybe it's worth asking at the Dulwich delivery office (it's in West Dulwich, though. Their phone number is 03457740740) to see if there are aware of any issues in your particular area? I've seen cases in the past were the a particular postie was sick and they didn't cover for them, they just let everything accumulate for a couple of days until the person was back. -
Mal, it is related to this issue and if you scroll back a few pages you will see that Brockwell was brought up in relation to this (not by me I hasten to add). Do you not think it seems perfectly reasonable for people to be able to reference a neighbouring event - one that is having a number of challenges not too dissimilar to the ones Gala is having? These sentences from the BrixtonBuzz article I linked seem very pertinent too: The concern, they argue, is not just about permits, but about the Council’s repeated failure to follow proper planning processes and its habit of acting in the interests of commercial promoters rather than the local community. And this: The group is now calling on residents to write to their local MP and councillors, accusing the Council of using legal mechanisms to avoid scrutiny.
