I believe I’m being charged for a portion this huge building. When I only want to pay for whAt is within my rented four walls. 

 

The loop runs though the building, might be very easy to chop & change it to do your bit or might have been a new loop card  & long run back the controls...

 

Again a repeater might have be very easy to chop & change it to do your bit or might have needed a  card  & long run back the controls...

 

I suspect 4k will be the cost of the works + a margin for centre, 10%, 100% who know's ?

 

Has the job been done on sunday  night at triple the labour cost?  I don't know, 

 

If possible speak to the other units to see if they've been bum raped for 4k

 

I expect you'll be able to negotiate it down, however I'd assume will be using the large LPC type of co. rather than somebody small & local  ?

Mr? Veritas God

This is the thing. They claim that’s what they paid out so that what we have to pay. 

 

So theyre been bum raped. Until that is we sign lease. 

 

LPC? Law practice?  Yes. But I doubt they have the funds to pay them!  Shambles. They trying to charge me £1800 for access control. I have one door with a lock and key. Lol.

My portion of the building is 98 square metres. I have one call

point. 9 detectors I can see and a repeater panel. It’s a dental surgery  so two surgeries, two toilets, tea room, decontamination room, store room and reception two detectors in the reception area. 

 

The lease is is as clear as mud. However it may say I have to pay for such things. I just feel the cost is extremely excessive. I believe I’m being charged for a portion this huge building. When I only want to pay for whAt is within my rented four walls. 

 

 

 

 

Repeaters cost as much as the panel in some cases I think
