Dear Sirs

I am a party in the case between [insert parties], numbered [insert case number] and I write to request that the matter is transferred to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) at [insert address of the relevant tribunal].

The case concerns the reasonableness and/or payability of service charges and the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) has jurisdiction under section 27A of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 to decide such matters.

I believe the said Tribunal is the appropriate forum to make a decision in this case. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible with confirmation that this matter can be transferred to the Tribunal.

Yours faithfully/sincerely,

 

[Insert your name]
