Start a block review"I was being charged £4,800 for 'major works' with zero consultation. The £129 review found multiple Section 20 breaches. Used their tribunal pack, represented myself, got the charge reduced to £250."
"Our managing agent was charging every flat £800/year for 'building insurance' that cost £3,200 total. ServiceChargeChallenge spotted it immediately. We won at tribunal and got three years refunded."
"Solicitors wanted £4,500 upfront. I paid £558 total for the review, tribunal pack, and ready-to-file service. Represented myself. Tribunal ruled in my favour on 6 out of 7 issues. Worth every penny."
Each service charge dispute is assessed against statutory recoverability and tribunal precedent.
Leave your details and we'll call you back to discuss your situation — no obligation.
We provide professional case analysis and tribunal preparation. We assess whether your charges are recoverable under relevant legislation and tribunal precedent, identify procedural failures, and structure your challenge documentation. You remain responsible for all filings and representation at tribunal.
No. The First-tier Tribunal is specifically designed to be accessible for self-represented leaseholders. What you do need is a well-structured case, correct documentation, and a clear dispute schedule — which is exactly what we provide.
Yes — paying a charge does not mean you've accepted it. Under Section 27A of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985, you can apply to the FTT to determine whether historic charges were reasonable and properly recoverable. However, time limits apply. The £129 review will flag if any of your charges are approaching the limitation period, so don't delay if you have older disputes.
Cost awards at the FTT are rare and generally limited to cases involving unreasonable conduct. That said, we indicate where there appear to be genuine grounds. If after your £129 review we don't think you have a strong case, we'll tell you honestly.
