Tenure - The property is leasehold for a term of 125 years from 25th December 1989. The residue of that leasehold interest is available. All the apartments are sold with 80% equity with the 20% share being retained by Curo (formally the Somer Community Housing Trust). The apartments are sold with no chain. Residents have the security of knowing that the freeholder will undertake the management development and be responsible for the maintenance of the grounds, common parts, building insurance, exterior repairs and decoration.

The development is restricted to those persons over 55. It offers independence but with the security offered by the support of a leasehold officer and in their absence, an emergency alarm call system that is directed to a 24 hour emergency control facility.

Major works are ongoing at Meadow Court new windows, flat entrance fire doors and new lift have recently been installed. Over the next few years works will continue which will include fire alarm, emergency lighting etc, updating of communal areas to include decoration, heating and wiring work(this is not an exhaustive list). Whilst we cannot confirm service charges for future years (as they are calculated annually) 80% of the costs expended will be passed on to the leaseholders. As a guide for the year 2024/25 the service charge for this flat is £3741.82 including the contribution to the major works. It is anticipated that investment in the building will have a positive impact on the future value of the flats. Please make any further queries with a negotiator who can put you in touch with the freeholder. All tenure and service charges, details should be confirmed with your legal adviser prior to exchange of contracts.
