Latymer Court landlords admit fault but won't compensate me | Money | The Guardian

I own a one-bed flat on a lease. Hot water and central heating is included in the service charge of £3,000 per annum.

The first year, the heating did not work. I was told by the landlords, Latymer Court Freehold (LCFC), that the problem was with the radiators and that I needed to buy wrought iron ones. This I did at a cost of more than £700. Still no heating.

Despite my incessant demands, the landlords took no action, so I purchased two electric heaters and ran them for two years.

Finally, in the third year, the landlords admitted it was a total blockage of the risers and replaced them. We had heating at last.
