“When carrying out major works to residential premises, landlords take the risk that their expenditure will not be recoverable unless they comply with the plethora of statutory regulations which now police the recovery of service charges. Compliance with the consultation requirements should be simply a question of employing a good management agent who is familiar with the statutory framework. If all the hoops contained in the regulations are jumped through there should be no bar to recovery of the sums spent.”
