Together Property/ Southern Land Securities. - anyone applied for First Tier Tribunal - Excessive Service Charges

[Catpaws]

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

 

We are in dispute of excessive service charges and are looking into FTT in the meantime my demand due  date in in 3 days.

 

Should I make my payment in protest?

 

I have a standard template from Leasehold Advisory Service.

 

I’ve asked them but they’re slow on responding

Hello, welcome to CAG.

 

I've moved your thread to our Residential lettings forum for further advice; people should be along over the course of the day.

 

Best, HB

Thanks. I wasn't able to post there for some reason.

You shouldn't with hold all payments just because you are in dispute. 

 

If you are correct, the unlawful fees will be refunded

Hi

 

I have to agree never ever with hold any payments as it then places you in a weaker position and more than likely in breach of your agreement if it is leasehold and places the Landlord/Managing Agent in a stronger position to hit back.

 

Pay the amount requested then write letters to challenge these charges and the reason.

 

It does not stop you writing a formal complaint letter to the fact that you are paying the full £XXX requested in dispute as to date I have requested full clarification of these charges from yourself which you have failed to provide and require a full clarification for your failure of my simple request.

I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has applied for First Tier Tribunal or mediation with Together Property/ Southern Land Securities. We are in on ongoing dispute with them and this will be our next step. We’ve successfully taken over RTM.
