Findings<br />
101. It is clear that service charge bills have increased dramatically over<br />
the last few years as full cost recovery has been implemented and this<br />
is clearly of concern to leaseholders and something they probably did<br />
not anticipate. However, we do accept that whilst the bills are high,<br />
they are probably “fair” (when calculated accurately) in that full cost<br />
recovery means they accurately reflect the work and services received<br />
by each leaseholder. Nevertheless, the accuracy of bills needs to be<br />
improved and more information provided on what is being charged for<br />
to reassure leaseholders that bills are indeed fair. Furthermore, costs<br />
might be brought down once the standard of repairs and maintenance<br />
improves, as it clearly needs to, and less on going maintenance and<br />
repair work is required.<br />
