    More like you thrashing around to avoid the question.

    What evidence do you have to state that european countries have controls regulating service charges between freeholders and leaseholders.

    None, but I didn't suggest that either.

    All I did was quote the BBC stating property managers are licensed (regulated) in 2 other countries. I know Germany also has a system as I saw it on TV.

    I didn't state anything you have yet accused me of, or asked me for evidence of.

    Anything else?

    Your OP said other EU counties had this sorted. In reality the BBC article mentioned just one single EU country, France.

    Either way leaseholders here are able to take their case to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal where management companies have to prove their costs are reasonable.
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.
