Leasehold decisions near BN3 4ED

Based on 20 decisions within 2 km of BN3 4ED.

The search widens from 2 km (to 5, then 10 km) until at least 10 decisions are found.

What the tribunal decided here

20 decisions: dispensation from consultation 9, service charges 4, breach of lease 2, LIS 2, other 1, administration charges 1, variation of a management order 1. 6 are service charge cases, 4 with a readable outcome.

Only 4 decisions with a readable outcome. That is too few to show a pattern.

Dispensation applications (landlord-driven, never in the share above): 9, granted 8, refused 1.

Items most often disallowed or reduced here: repairs and maintenance (1), other (1).

Past decisions are not a prediction. Each tribunal decides on the evidence in front of it.

How these figures are counted

"Readable outcome" means the decision states one of: payable as demanded, reduced, substantially reduced (more than a third off, as the decision's own figures show), not payable, or dismissed. Withdrawn and procedural decisions, dispensation, manager, right-to-manage and breach-of-lease cases are listed but not counted in that share. A section 20C order is counted only where the decision says it was made or refused; "not clear" means it was asked for but not decided in the document. Figures are as the decisions state them; nothing is added up. Decisions marked "figures not yet checked" (3 here: the regex and model readings disagreed on the outcome, the section 20C result or a total) are listed but left out of the counts.
