HAV/21UD/LSC/2025/0736 · service charges · Hastings · decided 27 Mar 2026
The tribunal reduced most disputed 2023/24 and 2024/25 service charge items, disallowing works it found were not carried out and the 2023/24 management fee, and made a section 20C order so the landlord's costs of the application cannot be added to the service charge.
