94 Rupert Street, Nechells, Birmingham, B7 5DS

BIR/00CN/LIS/2021/0042 · LIS · Birmingham · decided 5 Sep 2022

The tribunal found the budgeted costs for services, professional fees, utilities and insurance reasonable, and the provision for roof replacement in the reserve fund reasonable in principle, but it did not find the £7,500 reserve fund estimate reasonable because the basis for that figure was not explained.
