With the cost-of-living crisis in full effect, you are likely to be scrutinising your service charge demands a little more than usual. Unless your service charge is set at a fixed amount in your lease, the chances are your landlord is allowed to increase your charges. However, increases must be reasonable, and the law allows leaseholders to challenge increases if they are seen to be unreasonable.

As an RMC Director, Property Manager or Right to Manage Company, you will be on the front line for service charge enquiries. Residents are likely to be receiving higher bills than usual, largely due to insurance costs. Buildings Insurance is often the highest cost listed on the service charge breakdown and prices are creeping up and up.
