Which of the following is NOT typically included in service charges for leaseholders?

Service charges for leaseholders generally cover the costs associated with maintaining the property and providing services to the leaseholders. These typically include insurance costs, repair and maintenance expenses, and utility services, as they are all directly related to the ongoing operation and upkeep of the property.

Property purchase costs are distinct from these regular operational expenses. Such costs are related to the acquisition of the property itself and do not reflect the ongoing costs that leaseholders are typically responsible for. Leaseholders do not generally pay service charges for costs associated with purchasing the property as this falls under the financial responsibility of the landlord or property owner, rather than the ongoing operational costs incurred for maintenance, amenities, and services provided to the tenants.

Thus, it is accurate to state that property purchase costs are not included in service charges for leaseholders, as these charges focus on the costs required to maintain and operate the property rather than the acquisition of it.
