Hi Andy
I have a policy predicated on the owners paying between 1 and 5% of
property value. BUT If you are giving any type of cost reduction you
can't serve notice - section 78N (e) links in to section 78H 5(d)
You might have legitimate grounds not to do the remediation if you have
a written agreement I think ie you should follow the part IIA process
and prescribe parameters around how the problem will be fixed.... but
you would need to ensure there is no risk to children and you would need
a defined end point when the work will be done eg when the person dies
or sells the property and I think to give any one the chance to opt out
you would need to be satisfied:
1. they knew the financial implications
2. the risk of serious mental health issues/ill health from the work
was real
Eg we have re housed a number of people from squalid conditions to a
beautiful new flat and they die 6 months later!
Cheers.
