🏠 Need help getting essential repairs done to your tenement or flat?

Our new Missing Share Scheme could help you get common repairs moving when one or more owners are unable or unwilling to pay their share, or cannot be traced.

Through the Scheme of Assistance, eligible owners may be able to receive support towards the outstanding share of repair costs, helping essential work to roofs, gutters and external walls go ahead.

A majority of owners must agree to the proposed works and the Scheme’s requirements must be met.

📲 Owners are encouraged to get in touch early for advice and support.

You can also use the Novoville Shared Repairs app to coordinate with neighbours, track progress and collect payments securely: https://sharedrepairs.novoville.com/
