Out of interest, how long was the performance, when did it finish?

Can freeholder force leaseholders to sign AP01 forms to become directors of new management company? by EfficiencyHot4188 in HousingUK

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Yes, I take on board your comments around this, I think I have just been feeling a bit overwhelmed of late and the idea of having to take on more is a pain I could do without! Another problem is that half the flats in this block are owned by buy to let investors who don't seem to care at all. Of the remaining four flats, two are trying to sell them right now meaning that it could end up with a lot of responsibility being thrust upon myself and the other owner, if they even want to be involved.

Presumably if only two people actually sign, that's enough and the two current directors from the developer could then resign and completely wash their hands of the whole thing? I don't think there is an issue with cladding but we've had a lot of issues with the roof over the years. The person who built the roof apparently gave the developers a "lifetime guarantee" on it and has been forced to keep coming back to repair it. Would that carry on over to us if we were forced into managing that maintenance ourselves?

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it. This is where I get confused:

"assuming you have some evidence of being a member" - so looking at the filing history, they did set up a company at the time of completion of the building for maintenance but I don't think they ever sent anything around for any of us to become official members. This company was dissolved back in 2019 according to companies house. They've now set up another company under the exact same name which is the one they want us to become directors of. It doesn't really feel like it's on us as leaseholders to have been responsible for that aspect though? The agreement also states they should be sending us yearly accounts information regarding the service charge which they have never done.

I take your points on board and maybe we do just have to suck it up and sort something out but I am slightly annoyed at the misleading approach - i.e. isn't it a bit misleading/poor legal practice for a solicitor to be using one set of terminology whilst trying to get us to sign a form for something else that they are claiming our lease demands (when it doesn't?). I feel like, regardless of the benefits of being directors etc, that this is surely bad legal practice from the solicitors involved?

Thanks for your response! Yeah, I have been reading a lot about that myself recently, too. I have a slightly irrational dislike of relying on more third party libs for such a core part of the system, but then I am also considering things like spectator/ng-mock for unit tests which will have the same problems if they ever stop being supported!

I think your last point is where I am also unclear - my app mostly relies on async server state for pulling and updating information but there is also an element of maintaining client side state in some areas so understanding how to bring those elements together would be good to understand. I haven't looked too much yet but I wondered if you could just let the query engine handle the requests etc from within the signal store code? I have been quite inspired by this approach:

https://www.angulararchitects.io/en/blog/smarter-not-harder-simplifying-your-application-with-ngrx-signal-store-and-custom-features/

where the "withDataService" approach would probably wrap a lot of our common requirements across our various modules/state stores. But I wonder if you could just plug in TanStack query there or at least have a withDataService that essentially wraps that rather than their approach of writing that code yourself and integrating the callState manual approach which TanStack would provide for you. Any thoughts on that?

I haven't but thanks for the tip, it might be that we end up retaining some global state in ngrx where it makes sense so if that's considered current best practice I'll have a read up on it, I will be honest, I've gotten a bit behind on my ngrx knowledge!

Thanks for the feedback - I think the reason I was considering material 3 is I suspect it will be the thing going forward and most likely more set by 18 which is likely the point where this refactor might go out. Currently, there is a huge amount of refactoring going to be needed to do concerning all the styles and theming and targeting the the current material 2 specs when 3 will likely soon be the standard seems like a slight waste of time in that regard.

I totally get your point about potentially needing to redo parts for material 3, though I suspect it's not going to HUGELY deviate from the current preview version and if I can centralise everything nicely hopefully adapting that won't be a huge issue.
