Can the Factor instruct repairs without my authority?

The Association has a delegated “authority to act” (£250 plus VAT per property) limit which is defined in your Written Statement of Services.  This limit allows us to instruct and have carried out repairs and maintenance to the common parts provided that the anticipated cost of the repair or maintenance at the time when it is instructed, will not exceed this limit. If the anticipated cost of any such item exceeds the limit, we will seek the permission of the homeowner’s first.  

In an emergency, where the integrity of the building is severely compromised or personal health and safety is at risk, the Association will arrange emergency work as required, irrespective of the level of cost.
