Hi BillR

Sounds like the freeholder's responsibility to me. The funding would
probably come from whatever maintenance fund you and the other flats
pay into.

Surely the re-wiring for a particular flat should be paid for by that
resident?

I think it is my responsibility. The only things that the freeholder is
responsible for is the communal areas and the fabric of the building.

Suppose the boiler needed replacing? the sinking fund wouldn't pay for that.
Many of these conversions have no sinking fund anyway.

Apparently there is some kind of a fund, but I have little doubt that it is
drained dry with the exorbitant management fees and insurance.

Regarding access, there probably is a clause in the lease allowing you
access for such services.

I'm not too worried about my legal rights to access, just the upheaval it
may cause my neighbour.
