What the decision says
- years
1. The following service charges are payable by Mr and Mrs [name] to Hightown Housing Association by a date to be confirmed following hand down: a. £1,851.51 for 2018/19; and b. £1,182.72 as a partial contribution towards the estimated costs for 2019/20.
- outcome
In our assessment, taking into account these points and the less than helpful information provided to leaseholders, we consider that a management fee of £220, but no higher, was reasonably incurred.
- items reduced
Accordingly, for this service charge year we allow buildings insurance of £154.86, management fees of £220
- costs
the costs payable by the Respondents in these proceedings are the court issue fee of £185.
