Communal Facilities Fees

The Communal Facilities Fee (CFF) at Radford House is a fee payable upon the sale of your home or if there is a change of occupier so you can enjoy the facilities now but pay for them later. This fee ensures that homeowners can enjoy the use of our first-class communal facilities, today and in the future. It contributes towards:

The construction and provision of the communal facilities across the retirement community, including the restaurant, homeowners’ lounge and coffee lounge, hair salon, therapy suite, guest suite and activities studio
Regular replacement and refurbishment of all these communal facilities, the exterior of the building, restaurant kitchen equipment and facilities, lifts, roof, private homeowner parking and also your patio or balcony structure

Communal Facilities Fees Continued

Adlington will use these funds to refurbish or replace elements of the communal areas to the highest standards when required. Not only will this ensure it is a quality place to live, but it will also protect the resale value of your property, ensuring that when an apartment is sold, you will get the best sales value for it.

All homeowners are responsible for the repair and maintenance of their own apartment.

You do not have to pay anything until you choose to sell your apartment (or there is a change of occupier). The fee is 4% per annum, capped at 5 years (maximum 20%) of the achieved market price (or an agreed market valuation of the property) per year or part year of occupation.
