Details

Disputes over residential service charges are increasing in number each year. Despite residential service charges being heavily regulated by statute, the inherent conflict between the interests of landlords and tenants has led it to be a heavily litigated area with recent cases being of concern for both parties.

This book aims to provide an introduction to residential service charges with an overview of the matters that need to be considered when dealing with service charge disputes. It also provides insight into what should be included within a service charge clause both to ensure recovery of sums due and avoid disputes. It seeks to serve as a useful initial reference guide for surveyors and solicitors alike and encompasses an overview of the relevant residential statutory controls and case law.
