People
Stephen Murphy is 82 & a former Royal Navy seaman. His estimated bill is £31,000. He bought his flat in 1986 to have something to pass on his kids when he died. He now faces losing his legacy. He says he'll go to prison if he has to.

 
Teresa Dorgan bought her one bedroom flat 10 years ago. Her estimated bill is for £31,000 and she is apalled & upset by HfI's dismissive treatment of her when asking for more detailed information about these huge charges which she can't afford.

Ajaykumar has lived on Spa Green for over 4 years. His estimate is £40,000 and with the prospect of more bills to come, he thinks it's likely he'll be forced off the estate by massive debt.

 
Maureen bought her flat with her father in 1990 having lived on Spa Green since 1971. Her estimate is nearly £40,000 & it will be the first time she has ever seen the block redecorated despite paying service charges for decades.

Alison Craighead works in Higher Education. She earns only £16,000 a year with estimates costs at £30,000. She'll most likely lose her home unless these huge charges are regulated as they are in other Islington properties.

 
Patrick Adams is a first time buyer who spent years waiting to get onto the property ladder. His estimate is for £41,000 on top of his mortgage repayments. He faces losing his home because of these poorly regulated bills.

Stephen Gee is an architect specialising in the renovation of historic buildings. He has an estimated bill of £41,000. He knows from experience it is unnecessarily expensive. He has little confidence in it being carried out properly

 
Bashir Ahmed moved to Spa Green with his family to set up and run a restaurant on nearby Exmouth Market. He doesn't understand why leaseholders are not protected in any way and can be charged these amounts at any time in any given year.
