Investment Works
In addition to core services, the Association will administer major common repair projects. Arrangements for such projects will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the property's Deed of Conditions. Prior consent from a majority of owners within the property is required before contracts of this nature are arranged unless the repairs are undertaken as a result of a local authority order.
There will be a fee charged for the Association's project management services which will be clearly advised to owners prior to works being instructed. This is normally 10% of the contract value.
Where the Association has to instruct external surveys for technical or safety reasons, owners will pay their apportioned share of the survey costs.

- Pre-contract surveys and inspections by YHA staff
