Leasehold evidence
What makes a service charge challenge stronger

A leasehold dispute is strongest when the lease, demand, accounts and consultation record are clear. MeProperty checks whether the charge is allowed by the lease, whether the amount is reasonable, whether the landlord or managing agent produced enough evidence, and whether major works consultation was handled properly.

01
Service charges
Management fees, insurance, cleaning, maintenance and reserve fund demands can all be checked.
02
Major works
Section 20 consultation, scope, invoices, reasonableness and poor works evidence matter.
03
Next step
Upload the lease, demand, accounts, photos and correspondence so the assessment can move quickly.
