Princess Court, 41 Castle Street, East Cowes PO32 6GG
HAV/00MW/LSC/2025/0774 · service charges · Isle of Wight · decided 6 Jul 2026
The Tribunal found the fire door remediation costs arose from a relevant defect under the Building Safety Act 2022, so leaseholders are not liable to pay service charges for those works, and it made an order limiting the landlord's costs of the proceedings from being added to the service charge.
