Flat 2, 13 Alumhurst Road, Bournemouth, BH4 8EL
HAV/21UD/LSC/2025/0767 · service charges · Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole · decided 14 Jul 2026
The tribunal found the major works recoverable in principle and the 2025 estimates reasonable, but the 2025 demand was not payable because it wrongly apportioned the leaseholder's share and the landlord had not yet incurred liability; the lease does not allow advance recovery and only a limited future-recoverability finding was made.
