Thank you for your reply. The property can be used all year round but must not be a first or main residence.
The issue is around Service Charges: i.e. the landlord has included items that are not eligible in its calculation and has not provided any of the documentation required by the lease to support the actual maintenance expenditure and cannot show how the money has been spent or what/whether reserves remain - the lease states that these funds should have been kept in a separate account.We have paid service charge each year to allow the landlord time to remedy the breach but nothing has changed and we have not paid 2010 charge in protest. We realise we are now also in breach but may have some protection if covered by the landlord/tenant act? There are other grievances regarding notices of work and related costs which may be relevant if the act applies but the service charge issue is the priority.40256.3069937153

if we take the LVT route, can we continue to withold the 2010 service charge without too much risk? many thanks

Thanks for your help.

Your first answer to my question stated that "There are a number of Landlord and Tenant Acts and part of the Acts apply to long leases whether they are holiday homes or not." - could you please tell me what these are and whether/where consultation requirements are included. Thank you

Relist: Incomplete answer.
The original answer stated that some parts of the Landlord & Tenant Act have always applied to holiday homes but did not say which parts and what areas of the law were covered and whether that included consultation requirements
