Of how many?

50. Does it have any relevance to my question of what, if anything, we can do using the tribunal process to control how the freeholder spends our money?

I think that the relevance that 2cv is aluding to is that currently only 4 leaseholders object to the proposed colour, compared to the remaining 46 that don't object.

Ah I see. But we don't actually know that they don't object as I haven't spoken to them...

To view it from another angle, 100% of the people I've asked so far have objected, and one of them said they got in with a written complaint before I did.

You're quite right, but if the freeholder looks at it from your "another angle", then they have 92% of leaseholders who are happy to go with the 10B15 on the basis that they haven't objected.

I suppose your task is to convert those 92% to join your team of 8%, to give you a better chance of convincing the freeholdeer of the majority concensus.

Well I just managed to speak to the agent, apparently they've had a deluge of responses suddenly voicing an opinion after the letter went out...

They're having another consultation and making it clear we'll go with majority rules this time. That's all I would ask.

I'm also going round to recruit people to vote for something sensible tonight, must ensure we don't split the vote lol.

I'm not sure that I'd qualify as that, plenty of people appear to have protested without my help...

I wondered how long it would take for that to come up. It is my own place and as I live near the city centre I can't afford a PH-worthy freehold mansion

Anyway, this thread has delivered all of the things I expected and more, thanks for the input guys, I'll post up the outcome of the vote

Don't think you understand the concept of leasehold...........

[Blue Oval84]

Thread closure - they've had a change of plan after the consultation with residents and are going with grey doors and the existing colour white walls. No need to faff about
