What this means before you offer on a flat

A tribunal record is building-specific. A block with a history of service-charge or Section 20 disputes can mean high or contested charges, major-works bills, or management you would inherit as the new leaseholder. A clean area record is reassuring but not proof — many disputes settle before a published decision.

Before you offer, ask the seller for the last three years of service-charge accounts and the major-works history, confirm the lease length and ground rent, and check whether the specific block you are buying in appears in the tribunal record above.

What does a tribunal case tell a flat buyer?

A First-tier Tribunal decision is a public record that leaseholders and the freeholder/managing agent went to a tribunal — most often over service-charge reasonableness, major-works (Section 20) consultation, or the right to manage. A history of disputes in a block can flag high or contested charges, poor management, or major-works liabilities you would inherit. It is one of the strongest pre-offer signals a flat buyer can check.
