Key passages (verbatim)
“There is no complaint here that the reserve fund estimate was not reasonably estimated as being likely to be incurred, or that it was unreasonable in amount, and accordingly we find that it was. The Applicant's proportion of the £500 is therefore payable.”
“It was reasonable for the landlord to estimate that a figure for general repairs was likely to be incurred in the year ending 2023... the landlord has already incurred a greater sum than the estimate in under half a year, we consider the sum of £600 was reasonable in amount.”
“we determine that the estimated cost of the management fee for this block of £720 is reasonable, and the Applicant's proportion is therefore payable.”
