MAN/00FF/LSC/2022/0096 · service charges · York · decided 30 May 2024
The tribunal reduced some CBRE management fees, disallowed a 2018 insurance charge, limited the 2020 repairs and maintenance charge to £250 per property because consultation was not carried out, found the other challenged charges payable, and barred the landlord from recovering its tribunal costs through the service charge.
