If you receive a notice (usually called a section 20 notice) telling you that your landlord is planning to carry out works, it should contain certain information.
It should describe in general terms the works proposed, and specify a reasonable time and place where you can find out what is proposed.
The notice should also explain the reasons for the works and invite you as a leaseholder to give your opinions in writing within 30 days.
It should also tell you of your right to give the name of a contractor to be contacted by the landlord to give an estimatefor the works.
The landlord must consider any observation received by the due date and get estimates from nominated contractors where applicable.
