Service charges on flats, how are they so high?

[Dano]

The lease information has been removed from the listing, like most issues on a property it's probably the estate agent publishing the wrong information.

Maybe, there are another set of flats in the town that have been on the market for a while now (over a year in fact) that while not quite as bad are still around the 6k mark with only 51 years remaining on the lease. My gut is telling me that they have simply removed the cost so they can hide it from potential buyers as much as possible.
