Summary
Ms C purchased a flat in a building in the city. Shortly thereafter, the council served a statutory notice on owners of the building requiring rectification of specified matters of disrepair. Ms C complained that she had not been notified and had lost the opportunity as a joint owner to organise the works herself at less expense.

This complaint is one of a number of cases that the SPSO has closed because of an ongoing external review. The council have committed to reconsidering this complaint if the complainant remains dissatisfied following the conclusion of the external review.
