'I own my flat but still have to pay the council over 5K a year for repairs'

Zoe Goodman, a leaseholder at Pitcairn House, expressed frustration over the service charges she pays, stating it's 'bonkers' to pay for such an 'abysmal' repair service.

Goodman emphasized that leaseholders are effectively compensating for the council's negligence regarding investment in essential repairs, noting their grievances with ongoing leak issues and inadequate service.
