Albion Court, Albion Road, Sutton, Surrey SM2 5TB
LON/00BF/LSC/2023/0107 · service charges · Sutton · decided 12 Oct 2023
The tribunal found the estimated six-monthly service charge of £1,738.96 per leaseholder not payable because the demand did not relate to the succeeding six months as the lease requires, and it made a section 20C order; it had no jurisdiction over the insurance credit, reserve credit or the settlement reversal.
