    Not shot, as he wasn't shot in the first place. The info he posted, however, remains nonsense.

    either way, it's an unwelcome hammering for the flat owners
    I'm just sharing this so that others can be on guard if they're going to buy a new flat in a new build somewhere
    to put salt in the wound, the management co. are apparently useless, they struggle to keep the windows clean never mind anything else, and are in financial difficulty apparently.
    Pretty much standard for a management co then.

Is it specified on the bill that the person is paying for SC on other flats?

    The reason why? Half the flats in the block have not been sold. So, the management company charges everyone else more to make up for it.

    Nice.
