Allocation of service charges contributions

Abstract

Examines various methods of allocating service charge contributions. Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of allocations by floor areas, rateable values, degree of use, stated shares, as well as adjustment and the court′s residual powers. Concludes that closer liaison between property managers, agents and solicitors can avoid problems at the lease making stage, although no one formula invariably provides the best result for landlord or tenant.
