9 Walberton Park, The Street, Walberton, Arundel, BN18 0PJ
· other · Arun · decided 16 Jun 2023
The tribunal decided that Flat 9's service charge percentage should revert to the lease rate of nine per cent, since the 10 per cent set in 2010 was not fair and proportionate or reasonable, and that two administration charges of £60 and £120 are payable while a £250 debt collection referral fee is not.
