The Leaseholders' Forum meeting scheduled for 23 September 2025 was set to cover a range of topics concerning leaseholder services, including updates on repairs, major works, fire safety, and the overall management of leaseholder services. The meeting's agenda also included a report from the Associate Cabinet Member for Leaseholders and a review of previous meeting minutes and actions.

Repairs Update

The forum was scheduled to receive updates on several key areas related to repairs. These included leaseholder access to the Maidtech system, the verification of contractor identification, and the communication process for lift breakdowns and repairs. Other issues raised by the Repairs working group were also slated for discussion.

Capital Services and Major Works Update

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to updates on capital services and major works. Discussions were planned regarding the timeline for planned works beyond 2025/26 to be published on Open Data, and the source of information on planned works for leaseholders selling their properties. An update on the buy-back process was also on the agenda. Furthermore, the forum was to receive information on existing works, including details on completion and feedback, and the establishment of a central contact point for major works queries. A specific focus was to be placed on the Fire Safety Project, with questions anticipated regarding reports from a June meeting, particularly concerning multiple £250 charges and maintenance visits.

Leaseholder Services Update

An update from the Home Ownership Manager was scheduled to be presented. This report, available in the public reports pack Public reports pack 23rd-Sep-2025 19.00 Leaseholders Forum.pdf, would likely cover ongoing service delivery and any recent developments.
