For years now, Norwich Leaseholders' Association
(NLA) has protested that a Leasehold Management Fee is not chargeable
if there is no reference to it in the lease and in July we challenged
the council to meet us at a Leasehold Valuation Tribunal (LVT).
The NLA has now discovered that at a Tribunal in May, the council lost
the case against one of our leaseholders with a stinging rebuke from the
Chairman. We can only presume that he will not be charged anything in
future and he can expect a refund of £160 for the period of his
tenure.
Despite the LVT ruling against them, the Council has recently announced
that it intends to increase the management fee from £40 to at least
£150.
