Soldato
So we own our flat but there's a small ground rent that needs paying every year. Just a small amount £150.
Today we get a letter saying they have surveyed the grounds and decided that's too cheap and it will now be £250.
But here's the thing, they are charging us £72 for the survey they did last week apparently. But we never had anyone come round and there's no access to the back garden. So already I was suspicious, and then the picture they enclosed to illustrate the fact they completed the survey last week, has my old front door that was replaced in April, and a tree that was cut down over 2 years ago! They took the picture from instantstreetview.com!
It's not about the money, its the principal of them blatantly lying to us.
What are my grounds for refusing to pay?
