Wouldn’t it be the freeholder’s responsibility?

Go to Shelter for advice.

I own a top floor grade 2 flat and water is coming in from the roof.
Landlord warned in, Feb 2022, the leasehold owners after last repairs were carried out, that the roof needed to be renewed because there would be repair after repair.

October 2023 there is another leak this time in my flat. The landlord says there is no ‘sink’ fund therefore no work can be carried out until the money is paid up front.
Only one flat out of 3 has agreed to pay their part of the builder’s quote £30.000. Moreover, the very popular coffee place on the ground floor says it wants a survey but no one wants to pay.
I have sent several letters with photos to everyone involved but to no avail.
Any advice would be welcomed.
