LON/00AK/LSC/2024/0119 · service charges · Enfield · decided 18 Mar 2025
The tribunal found about £20,143.64 of the £30,635.60 major works charges payable, disallowing improvement works such as door entry and IRS systems and unevidenced scaffolding, redecoration and balcony costs, and made a section 20C order so the landlord cannot pass its tribunal costs through the service charge.
