Thanks so much everyone for your helpful tips and advice.
I'm hopeful that we'll get there and that logic will prevail. As with a lot of OCs no doubt, it's just unfortunate that the objectors are the loudest, and end up creating a whole lot more work that only a few members are happy to help sift through and sort out before a sensible decision can be made!
We got a finance repayment plan sent through too (through Lannock Finance) and it looks very reasonable and, I believe, the only realistic option for us now.
I think what we'll do from here is present the 'for' and 'against' arguments based on everyone's feedback, then ask members to make a definitive 'yes/no' vote on the finance option. And then cross our fingers!
As a result of all this trouble, we may also now look into getting a long-term Maintenance Plan developed. That way at least everyone, including new buyers as they enter into the OC, can anticipate future expenses and not squabble over the necessity of work to be carried out.
Has anyone had any experiences of developing a long-term Maintenance Plan? We hear that there are companies who can develop them for around $300. Are they effective in preventing this kind of situation, I wonder?
