The property is held on a 70% shared equity basis with in excess of 85 years unexpired on the long lease. The remaining 30% stake is retained and held by the freeholder. This makes the apartments more easily affordable for the retired, for whom the properties were designed. Service Charges £3,491 per annum which can be paid quarterly or monthly and includes the sinking fund.
This covers the Communal Service Charges for the gardens, cleaning, windows, laundry room and machines, plus responsive repairs and the Court Manager role. It also covers communal utility charges for electric and water. A portion of the charge goes into the sinking fund for major repairs.
