Flat 2, 42-44 DeBeauvoir Crescent, N1 5SB
LON/00AM/LSC/2025/0872 · service charges · Hackney · decided 20 Jan 2026
The tribunal found the professional fees and roofing works and surveys charged for 2023 are not payable, while the management, cleaning, fire safety and health and safety charges for 2022 and 2023 are payable as apportioned, the balancing payments are not time-barred under s20B, and an order was made under section 20C so the landlord cannot pass its tribunal costs to the leaseholder through the service charge.
