Hi all…
One of the groups who regularly attend the ILA meetings, and anticipate challenging their bills at the TRIBUNAL, put together this “to do list” see enclosed…
Its pretty comprehensive and worth reading, whether you are currently/intend to do the same, as/when, the council presents you with a similar demand…
Enjoy…
S20 Notices / Major Works
Action Sheet for Islington Leaseholders
Following the recent Tower Hamlets Court of Appeal ruling, below is a practical action sheet forIslington leaseholders reviewing their own S20 notices.
The Tower Hamlets case does NOT automatically apply to Islington. What it does is reinforce
where leaseholders should look closely: consultation, clarity, and costs.
Each S20 notice still stands or falls on its own facts.
A Court of Appeal recently ruled: A London council is unable to charge leaseholders for repairing historic building safety work.
Use the checklist enclosed to review your own works and start collecting evidence right from the
beginning. Send in FOIs when necessary.

I have been a leaseholder with London Borough of Islington for over 40 years and have been subjected to unjustified charges for repairs and major works.
The most recent estimate I was upset to receive was a bill of up to £44,00 and had to work with the council to reduce the scope of the works without resorting to legal action. The LBI know leaseholders can rarely afford legal action. This abuse of power puts low-income leaseholders such as I at risk of bankruptcy and homelessness.
LBI in 2024 followed up with another letter for Major Works to take place during 2025 which had previously been undertaken in 2019. With the support of the Islington Leaseholders Association I was able to challenge the Major Works schedule and these works were eventually withdrawn, but only after waiting a agonising eight months for a decision to be made.
I currently exist in a state of financial insecurity, and a constant state of anxiety and worry. I worry for my mental health as I am unable to ever switch off living in a never-ending spiral of fear, fight and eventual flight.
I live in panicked state as to whether I can afford to stay in my home in an area I truly love.
