Hi guys got some great help on previous posts and now have another Question.I brought a leasehold property many years ago in a large block and it had one lift and still has .The lift keeps breaking down and becoming to costly to repair and insure.Here is the problem .The landlord want to move the lift to an adjoining vacant lift shaft which runs along side my flat previously empty.Can I object due to there was no lift in situ when I brought the flat .And also the noise element this will cause .Thanks

For f@ck sake it’s the grammar police

Yo is in a groompi mude innit.

Maybe he means freeholder or management company. My daughter had bought a flat but upkeep of block is responsibility of management company,

Thanks Mapletree, there is nothing in regarding additional lift .Just the normal service charges etc to building and grounds and the existing lift .Unusual situation i know .They building was obviously build with the extra lift shaft but never used .My argument is when I purchased the property there was only one lift.This new lift will also be closer to my flat so noise etc will be an issue as well.

And I think we all believe that planning permission would not be necessary to retrofit an existing shaft. But I could be wrong - I'm not an expert.
Where I wonder is there an issue is fire safety? I would worry that it would just cost you more if it was an issue, however.
Hopefully, it won't be too noisy! You actually get used to these things after six months or a year and sleep through the noise anyway.
