HAV/00HP/LSC/2024/0523 · service charges · Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole · decided 23 Oct 2025
The tribunal found that building insurance charges, related broker and management fees, late payment fees and ground rent administration fees for 2021 to 2024 were not payable by the leaseholders because the RTM company took over the insurance obligation, and it ordered the landlord to refund the tribunal fees and barred recovery of its costs of the proceedings.
