derekunderwood01,

Hi I've just posted a similar issue to yours and wondered if you ever got anywhere?

It really does matter.
If a leaseholder is being charged a "levy" then what that "levy" is for is directly relevant - without knowing additional details no one can do more than guess whether that "levy" can be charged at all, let alone what details may need to be...
