Building Reserve Fund

While the day-to-day maintenance of the buildings and facilities is covered by the Service and Well-being Charge, which is kept as low as possible to leave homeowners with maximum disposable income, major capital costs and refurbishment are not included.
It is important that maintenance is kept to the highest standards for all to enjoy, and to cover any major works, a fee of 0.5% of your sale price for each year, or part-year, of ownership will be levied when you sell on your apartment. A contribution to the Building Reserve Fund is also collected through the Service and Well-being Charge.
The Building Reserve Fund will build up over time so that money is available to pay for capital costs as they occur e.g replacement lifts, restaurant kitchen equipment, the building’s roof and car park etc. This means that the development is always kept up to the same standard as when you purchased your apartment.

An Administration Fee is payable on resale of the property.
