Flat 1, 147 Highbury Grove, London N5 1HP
LON/00AU/LSC/2025/0660 · service charges · Islington · decided 16 Jul 2024
The tribunal found most of the service charges for 2015 to 2024 payable, totalling £3,833.18, disallowed some repair and management charges because consultation was not carried out or no valid demand was made, and held that charges for 2016 to 2023 can be withheld because the demands lacked the required summary of tenants' rights.
