Hi, Thanks for your responses.
To clarify: my Park is trying to charge me for services I do not receive, hence the dispute. My lease clearly says that such disputes should be sorted out via formal, that is, legal arbitration. This will involve using a dispute resolution lawyer.
The advice from my legal support person, a dispute resolution specialist, is that I need to obtain a technical surveyor's report about the services for my lodge, a report carried out by a qualified, professional surveyor. The surveyor would visit the park, look at relevant information, past charges, any breakdown of costs cited by by park etc. This report would then inform the legal process and help arbitrate the dispute to agree fair and reasonable service charges.
However, after asking quite a few surveyors, none of them seem to want the work, Can anyone suggest a suitable surveyor?
Kind regards,
Paul
The best suggestion was from Slattster, joining NACO and asking them.
Do you have legal advice as part of your lodge insurance (or even your home insurance)? They may be able to suggest somebody who can help - or whether you should even be obliged to employ a surveyor or not.
I would have thought that if your allegation is that you are being charged for a service that do you not receive, then it should be down to the park to first demonstrate either that (a) you do receive it, or (b) that it is part of your cost whether or not you receive it.
(While it seems unlikely, if by "services" you mean connections such as water, gas, electric, cable - then maybe one of the specialist park home surveyors, such as Blue Chip, Phoenix, Subject II Survey, can help - they carry out pre-purchase surveys for park homes, so may be used to checking utility connections.)
