What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged completion notices dated 6 November 2024 proposing a completion date of 16 December 2024 for three floors of serviced offices. The appellant argued that asbestos discovered during works would delay completion substantially. The tribunal found that the presence of disturbed asbestos, requiring professional removal at an estimated cost of £289,000 per floor and taking approximately seven weeks, meant the property could not reasonably be completed by the proposed date. The tribunal allowed the appeal and determined a revised completion date of 5 May 2025, permitting adequate time for asbestos remediation and subsequent reinstatement works.
