Homeowner forced to pay 'unaffordable' service charge despite damaged car park
Briefly

Antony Dashfield, a Kavanagh Court resident, is grappling with service charges over £2,300 and additional fees for last year's management overspend. Concerns remain over subsidence linked to nearby construction by Stonebond, which the company denies caused damage. Despite legal fees of £1,405 charged last year, residents feel uninformed about the situation. Dashfield fears rising costs may force him to sell his property after only a year of ownership. He has also criticized FirstPort's management and proposal to retarmack the car park, predicting further charges.
Despite heavy service charges exceeding £2,300, residents at Kavanagh Court face unresolved issues with a car park linked to subsidence concerns, creating frustration and financial strain.
Mr. Dashfield expressed deep dissatisfaction, labeling the service charges as almost extortionate and indicating that constantly increasing costs could force him to sell his newly acquired home.
Residents are frustrated by the lack of transparency from FirstPort regarding legal issues and costs associated with repairs to the car park, which have them left in the dark.
FirstPort's suggestion to retarmack the car park could lead to even higher service charges, adding to Mr. Dashfield's concerns about affordability after just one year of ownership.
