Rechargeable Common Repairs
This is your share of all works carried out by either our in house operatives or sub-contractors to common parts of your building or surrounding area, which have been invoiced and paid by Linthouse Housing Association.
Common repairs are necessary repairs to maintain the fabric of the building and surrounding walls and paths etc. Attending to these repairs will help keep the building wind and watertight and maintain the value of your home.
Unfortunately, in addition to repairs due to normal wear and tear, repairs can also be due to misuse and vandalism. Where we cannot identify those responsible for the vandalism/misuse we have to share that cost amongst all owners and tenants.
Linthouse Housing Association attempts to keep these costs as low as possible by recharging individuals where possible or making insurance claims where the cost of the repair is above the policy excess ( currently £50.00) for each individual claim.
In order to make a successful insurance claim for vandalism, each incident must be reported to the Police. The housing association will require to obtain a crime reference number from Strathclyde Police to enable an insurance claim to be made. By contacting the Police , it will also alert them to the problem of vandalism and they can target their resources accordingly.
