HAV/21UC/LSC/2025/0625 · service charges · Eastbourne · decided 8 Dec 2025
The Tribunal decided that the balconies form part of the main walls and exterior of the building under the lease, so the landlord can recover the cost of complying with its repair obligations as service charges if properly incurred and demanded, and it refused the leaseholders' request that the landlord's costs of these proceedings not be added to the service charge.
