What it could be worth

Major works disputes can be high value because bills often run into thousands per flat.

When this can qualify

Issues can include poor consultation, unreasonable costs, defective work, missing invoices or works outside the lease.

Evidence to gather

Section 20 notices, estimates, invoices, photos, survey reports, lease terms and resident correspondence are useful.

Common mistake

Challenge the reasonableness and consultation, not just the size of the bill.
