A Northampton leaseholder tells of £2k service charge hike

A leaseholder whose service charge jumped by about £2,000 in just two years claims the building remains unsafe and says his experience has been “mentally exhausting”.

Abrahan Marquez, 37, lives in Bloomsbury House, Northampton, where his maintenance fees have risen from about £1,300 to £3,300 since he bought the flat in 2022.

He said the Grade II listed apartments had security issues, with rough sleepers able to get in.

Bloomsbury House’s managing agent, Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing (MTVH), said any increase in service charge reflected the real cost of delivering services and said a security patrol had been introduced at no cost to leaseholders.

Mr Marquez is one of many leaseholders in the region to contact the BBC over rising service charges across the country.
