LON/00BK/LSC/2025/0902 · service charges · Westminster · decided 25 Jun 2026

The tribunal found most service charges for 2023 and 2024 payable, including the HVAC repair costs and reserve fund contributions, but reduced the management fees to £200 per annum and made a paragraph 5A order so the landlord cannot recover its tribunal costs as an administration charge.
