Dispensation from consultation is granted in respect of the roof repair and related works specified in the

1. Within 21 days of the date of this decision, the Applicant must provide to the leaseholders a
statement providing details of all estimates received for the Works and whether these were from
persons connected or unconnected to the landlord and Applicant (as defined in paragraph 4(7) of
Part 2 of Schedule 4 to the Service Charges (Consultation Requirements) (Wales) Regulations
2004). Copies of any written estimates obtained must be provided or made available for
inspection. If no estimates were obtained, the Applicant must confirm whether the contractor
selected – Infinite Solutions (Cardiff) Limited – is connected to the landlord and/or Applicant.
2. Within 21 days of the date of this decision (by no later than 2nd January 2024), the Applicant must
provide a statement to the leaseholders to explain why it award ed the contract for the Works to
Infinite Solutions (Cardiff) Limited.
For the reasons given below, the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal finds that it is reasonable to dispense with
the consultation requirements in respect of the Works on these two conditions. This was the sole issue
for the Tribunal to determine. It makes no findings as to any other issues, including the reasonableness of
the Works and contractor chosen, or of the cost of the Works.
