LON/00BE/LSC/2022/0367 · service charges · Southwark · decided 10 Jun 2024

The tribunal found that the £393,048.92 claimed from leaseholders for proposed external and structural works is more than is reasonable at present, because the 2014 survey is outdated, the apportionment between residential and commercial units is unclear, and the statutory consultation was only partly complied with, and it made section 20C orders protecting two leaseholders from the landlord's costs of the case.
