Management Fees Arrears
Comments

It really is a case of reading the deed (or other agreement) to see what you've agreed to.
In simplistic terms, it could be that you've signed a deed / agreement that says:
"I agree to pay a management fee of £15 per month - plus the cost of any services provided"...
... then you've agreed to pay £15, even when no work is done.
The annual accounts will only be relevant if the deed/agreement says they are, and/or the deed/agreement says you have the right to see them.
Again in simplistic terms, it could be that you've signed a deed / agreement that says:
"The management company will charge £2000 a year for cutting the grass"
... so you don't now have the right to see the annual accounts to see how much it's actually costing them.
Those are simplistic/extreme examples to illustrate a point. And hopefully your deed/agreement won't be that onerous.
But the starting point really is to read the deed/agreement.
