The tribunal reduced several service charge items for 2017 to 2022, including insurance by 20% and general repairs, cut management fees for 2020 to 2022, and disallowed charges such as gutter maintenance, garden maintenance, chimney refurbishment and pest control because the landlord provided no evidence to support them, and also made s.20C and administration charge orders in the leaseholder's favour.
