Key passages (verbatim)
“The Respondent has failed to provide any substantive challenge to the service charges in dispute. In the light of this failure the tribunal determines that the on-account service charges of £3,837.91 are reasonable.”
“The Applicant in its County Court application had included a claim for administration charges totalling £360. The Applicant informed the tribunal that it was no longer pursuing this sum.”
“The tribunal also asked about the different sizes of the blocks. It was a little concerned that estimated electricity charges were the same across different sizes of blocks but considered that overall, the charges were not unreasonable.”
