Hi all
I'm trying to find out if it's possible to dispute the service charges I'm paying my building's management company. The fees keep going up exponentially, and it's becoming unaffordable for me. I'm aware of the First-tier Tribunal system, but I think they only deal with residential properties if I'm not mistaken, so I was wondering if there's similar system for commercial properties? I should add that on the invoice that I receive from the management company it mentions that I "have the right to ask a First-tier Tribunal to determine whether you are liable to pay service charges" but I guess that doesn't apply to my case since my property is a shop with a long term lease. I'd appreciate any advice on this issue.
Many thanks
