In fairness, you could say that about all managed developments. It sounds like the grounds upkeep is all you get for the annual fee or is there bins, hall, stairs and landing light, cleaning involved ?My solicitors concerns, which I share myself, is that more residents in time could 'opt out' of paying leaving a smaller subset with a higher bill while they all get the benefit.
There is always a percentage of people that won't pay. In a good development it would be a small percentage. Our solicitor was of the view that everyone pays in the end (they either die or sell the place).In fairness, you could say that about all managed developments.

The committee are managing the money and organising the works and insurance themselvesThere is always a percentage of people that won't pay. In a good development it would be a small percentage. Our solicitor was of the view that everyone pays in the end (they either die or sell the place).
My concern would be about you being individually liable for the envelope and foundations of the building. Does that mean apartments in the last floor are responsible for the roof?
Is there an agent managing the moneys going in and out?
Maybe somebody here knows whether there is a legal requirement to set up an OMC?
(Citizens information -> search for 'Management companies for apartment blocks')
The committee cannot establish a claim on the arrears, so the hold out could sell up and the committee cannot prevent this.Is it the case in this situation e.g. "The management committee cannot force any resident to pay into the committee for the upkeep of the grounds"
Not clear if they would be able to establish a claim for the arrears on sale of that property?
OP, also what is the block insurance situation?
