11.4.2 If the date of this deed does not coincide with the beginning of a Service Charge Year, the Service Charge due from the Tenant for the part of that Service Charge Year which is within the Term will be reduced by the proportion which the part of that Service Charge Year which is before the beginning of the Term bears to one year, and the Service Charge Estimate for that part of that Service Charge Year will be adjusted accordingly.

11.4.3 If the end of the Term does not coincide with the end of a Service Charge Year, the Service Charge due from the Tenant for the part of that Service Charge Year which is within the Term will be reduced by the proportion which the part of that Service Charge Year which is after the end of the Term bears to one year.

11.5 Estimating and revising the Service Charge

11.5.1 The Landlord shall give the Tenant a statement of the Service Charge Estimate for each Service Charge Year. Until the statement has been given, the Service Charge Estimate shall be payable at the rate of the Service Charge Estimate for the previous Service Charge Year. Once the statement has been given, the remaining instalments of the Service Charge Estimate and any VAT on them will be adjusted so as to provide for payment of the whole Service Charge Estimate for that Service Charge Year to be paid during that year.

11.5.2 If, during a Service Charge Year, the Landlord reasonably expects the cost of the Services to increase materially above its previous estimate of the cost of the Services for that Service Charge Year, the Landlord may revise its estimate of those costs and the Service Charge Estimate will be based on that revised estimate and the remaining instalments of the Service Charge Estimate adjusted so that the revised Service Charge Estimate will have been paid by the end of that Service Charge Year. The Landlord may revise the Service Charge Estimate more than once in a Service Charge Year.

11.6 General provisions

11.6.1 In the absence of manifest error, the Certificate will be conclusive as to the amount of the Service Charge.

11.6.2 The Landlord shall notify the Tenant in writing of any change in the date of the beginning of the Service Charge Year.

11.6.3 If the Service Charge for any Service Charge Year is less than the Service Charge Estimate (as and if revised), the balance will be credited against the instalments of the Service Charge Estimate due from the Tenant in the following Service Charge Year, or, at the end of the Term, set-off against any sums due from the Tenant to the Landlord with any balance being repaid to the Tenant.

11.6.4 The Landlord’s Expenses for the Service Charge Year in which the beginning of the Term falls may include costs incurred or provided by or on behalf of the Landlord before the beginning of the Term so far as they relate to Services which are to be provided during the Term. The Landlord’s Expenses in any Service Charge Year may include provision for Landlord’s Expenses that will be payable by the Landlord after the end of the Term so far as such provision is reasonable and the relevant Services are provided during the Term.
