Flat 10/11, 52-53 Leinster Square, London W2 4 PU
LON/00BK/LSC/2019/0480 · service charges · Westminster · decided 30 Nov 2020
The tribunal allowed the major works costs to be challenged and found the landlord's refurbishment and boiler costs recoverable subject to section 20B limits, but ruled that the Leinster Square garden association subscription is not a recoverable service charge; the tenant's 25% reduction request for works and management fees was refused, and decisions on costs were deferred.
