Flats 201, 301, 401 Caroline Adams House, 37 Pedley Street, London E1 5FQ
LON/00BG/LSC/2019/0278 · service charges · Tower Hamlets · decided 11 May 2019
The tribunal found the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 depreciation (reserve) charges reasonable and payable, but found the 2016/2017 administration, lift maintenance, cleaning, repair, lighting and door entry charges not payable or reasonable because they were calculated on a block basis rather than across the whole building under the lease.
