What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company contested completion notices served on 10 October 2024 proposing a completion date of 11 October 2024, arguing that the properties required outstanding works including electric meter installation, unfinished communal areas, and planning restrictions not yet lifted. The tribunal found the properties substantially complete with only minor cosmetic works and utility connections outstanding, and determined that these remaining works could reasonably be expected to be completed within one day as proposed, disregarding delays caused by external approvals and financial constraints which are not relevant to the statutory test.
