Service Charges (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

The second edition of this highly practical, case-based book brings welcome clarity to the complex area of service charges - a subject notorious for generating friction between landlord and tenant. Based on summaries of service charge cases with commentary by the expert author, this fully updated edition includes brand new material covering: mixed use buildings; reserve and sinking funds; reasonable costs; liability for the cost of ambiguous or duplicate services; appointment of managing agents; misinterpretation of lease provisions; management fees; time limits; certification of service charge expenditure; and, consequences of the new Code of Practice. This is an updated addition to the popular series of concise, practical guides that get straight to the key issues in a refreshingly jargon-free style.
