What happens if homeowners do not pay?
If homeowners do not pay for works proposed, then we will be unable to proceed with the required works. Dependant on the Council Area, we may be able to apply for the Missing Shares of the project, however this is subject to strict requirements, one of which requires a majority decision and majority payment from homeowners.
We can usually confirm whether your Local Authority operates a Missing Shares Scheme, dependant on Council Area. Should Ross + Liddell make an application on behalf of homeowners, there will be an additional fee for this service, which we will outline prior to completion.
Please note, any non-payment shares will usually be subject to a 15% uplift, which is charged by the Local Authority. These are due by the non-paying homeowners only.
