Your situation, your interests
For Leaseholders
Understand and challenge the energy costs within your service charge.
Overview
Leaseholders
Energy costs in blocks of flats are often opaque. Communal supply contracts are procured and managed on your behalf — but you pay for them through your service charge, and it is not always clear whether you are being charged a fair rate.
- We help you understand the energy charges within your service charge
- We provide independent benchmarking to assess whether rates are competitive
- We advise on your rights and the process for challenging excessive charges
- We can produce written evidence suitable for use at the First-tier Tribunal if needed
Challenges
Decisions made without you
Energy contracts are procured by managing agents or freeholders on your behalf. You pay through your service charge but often have no sight of how suppliers were chosen or whether pricing is competitive.
No clear benchmark
Without an independent reference point it is very difficult to know whether the rate your building is paying is fair — or significantly above market.
Problems discovered too late
Overcharging is frequently only identified after the contract has run. By that point the money is gone. Independent benchmarking provides evidence that can support a challenge at the First-tier Tribunal.
