“the Tribunal is satisfied that the resulting sums of £584.39 building insurance for the years 2024 to 2025 and £566.35 building insurance for the years 2025 to 2026 are reasonable and payable.”
“the Tribunal is satisfied that the resulting sums of £584.39 building insurance for the years 2024 to 2025 and £566.35 building insurance for the years 2025 to 2026 are reasonable and payable.”
“the Tribunal was satisfied that the increased premium of £134.02 for the period 17 November 2024 to 24 March 2025 following valuation of the property was payable and reasonable.”
“The Respondent is not seeking recovery of this sum from the Applicant. The Tribunal therefore decided that this sum is not payable.”
“the Tribunal was of the opinion that this should have been provided at an earlier date”
“This is because there was a lack of transparency and delay in the Respondent providing the Applicant with requested information. For example, it was only on the day of the hearing that the Applicant was provided with the letter dated 14 November 2024 confirming that a proper valuation had taken place in 2024.”
