Since a clause in the co-ownership regulations

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

Since a clause in the co-ownership regulations relating to the apportionment of service charges is deemed void, and the amendment to the co-ownership regulations setting the new apportionment can only be decided by the general meeting of the co-owners or, in default, by the court, this new apportionment can only apply prospectively and can only take effect from the date of the decision ordering it.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with legal time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, title deeds, correspondence)
• Be proactive: preventive advice always costs less than a dispute
