Flats 1 & 3, 96-98 High Street, Sidcup, Kent, DA14 6DS
LON/00AD/LSC/2025/0741 · service charges · Bexley · decided 20 Oct 2025
The tribunal limited the leaseholder's contribution to 2023 roof works to £500 because the landlord could show neither consultation nor dispensation, and it made a section 20C order so the landlord's tribunal costs cannot be added to the service charge.
