VENDOR NOTES

1 Trebencyn Park benefits from a shared freehold, owned and managed entirely by the six Trebencyn Park households through a Residents’ Management Company. Every leaseholder is automatically a company member and director, giving a direct say in how the building is run and how costs are set.

The company operates on a non profit basis, with no external landlord or managing agent involved. There is no ground rent, and the focus is on keeping costs fair and transparent.

All major expenses, such as building insurance, roof and exterior maintenance, and grounds upkeep, are shared between the six owners.
