CHI/24UJ/LSC/2024/0126 · service charges · New Forest · decided 21 Oct 2024

The tribunal found the service charges for 2015/16 to 2022/23 recoverable and reasonably incurred, but limited management fees to £100 per year because the long-term management agreement was entered into without consultation, and disallowed the interest and additional management charges claimed as administration charges.
