What tribunals have said
The passages below are quoted verbatim from published tribunal decisions in which J H Watson Property Management Ltd appears; each links to the full public decision on GOV.UK. We publish only the tribunal's own words — never our characterisation.
“Of some concern, Watsons emailed the Council on 19 December 2022 stating that "we are currently going through a dispensation to allow us to complete the PAS9980 FRA that should be back with us shortly." This would appear to be the new report referred to in the previous paragraph. If so, as stated above, work on cladding is not within the scope of this application.”
“The application and the supporting documentation had not explained why the Applicant wished to dispense with consultation, rather than consult.”
“It is unfortunate that Watson did not respond promptly and in full but instead had continued to pursue Mrs Lyon for payment of the service charges she was questioning.”
“It seems that it was not until 28 May 2024 that Mr Spencer provided Mrs Lyon (and the Tribunal) with a written explanation of the Respondent's position along the lines of his responses set out at paragraph 11 above.”
“On 21 November 2017 Watson wrote to each leaseholder as required by Regulation 13 but incorrectly stated that no written observations had been received in relation to the paragraph (b) statement dated 25 September 2017.”
Methodology
These statistics are computed from the published decisions of the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) in service charge cases (case types LSC, LIS and LDC). Each decision is parsed into a structured record — the sums challenged, the sums allowed, the outcome per cost head, and the orders made — and the aggregates on this page are recomputed nightly in plain arithmetic from those records. No figure on this page is estimated, modelled or hand-typed; each carries its sample size. Current corpus: 4,244 decisions covering 18,031 individually disputed items, last updated 31 July 2026.
