Major repairs and maintenance are not limited in cost (unless funded wholly or partly by certain Government or Homes and Communities Agency funds).
If you purchased under the Right to Buy or Right to Acquire schemes, there are limits during the first five years for repairs and improvements and general repairs, and for the first ten years for structural repairs.
These were detailed in your offer notice, which you received when you applied to buy your home. During these first five years, we cannot charge more than the amounts we estimated for itemised repairs and improvements (after allowing for inflation).
Unless you were advised of itemised structural defects in your building before you bought your home from us, you will not have to contribute towards the cost of putting that defect right during the first ten years.
Where any works will cost more than £250 or a long-term qualifying agreement will be more than £100 per annum for any one leaseholder then a S20 consultation will be carried out.
