Flat 1 Oakwood Court, Victoria Road, Bognor Regis, West Sussex PO21 2EG
CHI/45UC/LIS/2019/0022 · LIS · Arun · decided 4 Jul 2019
The tribunal found that the 2018 on-account service charge demand was reasonable only in part, reducing the boiler repair and garden maintenance budget so that a sum of £187,694.09 is payable, with the lessees' section 20 cap argument rejected because the demand was an on-account demand.
