Q: Our title deeds say common repairs
must be paid for according to rateable
value. Rateable Values have been
abolished– can we just divide costs equally
between us?
A: Unfortunately you can only enforce
what is in your title deeds…

A good survey will help you identify your
priorities for repair and help you plan work
to save your building from costly repairs
and even demolition. This document will
help you with planning and budgeting –
but you get what you pay for!
Get quotes for the survey from at least three
architects or surveyors. Ask all those quoting
for the same thing so you can make a good
comparison of prices.
You will most probably want:
A description of the current conditionn
of the key parts of the tenement.
Digital photographic proof of disrepair.n
Identification of works which are essentialn
or urgent rather than just desirable.
An estimated cost for carryingn
out all the recommendations
in one package of works.
Suggested alternatives for phasing workn
over say the next five years, with costs,
prioritising Health & Safety; reducing
further expensive damage; keeping the
building wind and weather tight with
acceptable level of maintenance.
A maintenance plan to ensuren
the building does not deteriorate
further in the future.
Once you decide to go ahead with work,
your next step will be to find an architect
or surveyor who can help you by:
Planning work so you get then
best deal for your cash.
Preparing specifications and tendersn
to find contractors experienced in the
type of work you want done and get
quotes for the same quality of work.
Managing the building works and co-n
ordinating builders and other specialists.
GRABA BARGAIN!
The Council currently offer up to £250 per flat or
shop towards your tenement’s Repair Condition
Survey. So a tenement with six owners, will get
£1500 grant towards a survey.
The survey counts as maintenance. So you only
need a majority of owners to agree and the
others will have to pay their share of any
cost above £1500. And you won’t just get
the real picture, but a maintenance plan
and some long-term money saving ideas.

GRAB A BARGAIN!
Think your tenement is in poor repair? You
could find out for sure with a professional
survey AND the Council will pay 75%
of the cost up to £250 per owner.
So a survey costing £2,000 shared by six owners,
will get £1500 grant, with owners paying just
£83 each.
The survey counts as maintenance. So you only
need a majority of owners to agree and the

In your flat or shop…
Look indoors for damp patches on ceilings¶
In the middle of the ceiling – could be a
loose or broken slate or a plumbing leak
At the corner with an outside wall¶
– a problem with gutters
At the corner by a gable wall¶
– a problem with flashings.
Go outside and look up for…
Slipped or missing slates¶
Dislodged, leaking or overflowing gutters¶
Loose brackets for gutters.¶
Look in the close for…
Loose or missing balusters – children could¶
fall through.
Uneven steps- a hazard to users.¶
Check the outside walls for…
Areas of decayed stone on external walls¶
Gaps in the pointing between bricks¶
or stones
Cracks, especially those going across¶
lintels above windows or snaking down
the building
Cracks between stairs or between stairs¶
and walls
Lintels or courses of stone off level¶
Bulging or leaning walls.¶
(These last four could indicate possible
structural problems.)
