Aims

The Company is responsible under the terms of the lease for the maintenance of the common parts of the estate. Since 2001 they have employed a managing agent to maintain the estate and administer the collection of service charges. They also prepare the accounts. The service charges were subsequently increased to pay for this.

Service Charges

There are two levels of service charges on the estate: a General charge, which is applicable to all properties on the estate and a charge to cover the One Bed Flats.

• One bedroom properties pay an additional charge to cover the higher maintenance costs in these blocks. This covers the cleaning, upkeep and maintenance of the common parts of the Block. Rebuilding insurance of the Block is also included
• Two bedroom properties pay less, because the Leaseholders themselves carry the entire responsibility for maintaining and insuring them

Policy

The policy of the Directors is to keep the service charges at a reasonable level. The charges levied allow the routine costs of the annual maintenance to be covered in addition to paying for improvements to the estate, and a sensible reserve to be held to cover any unforeseen/emergency work. The Management Company is non-profit making and elects its directors on a voluntary basis from amongst the Leaseholders. It is therefore in everybody's interest to ensure that the service charges are held at a minimum level possible to achieve this policy.

Meetings

The TGML Directors arrange regular meetings during the year to discuss work to be done on the estate and other issues that need attention and decision. These are scheduled every 3 months or so as deemed necessary by the Directors. At the end of the year the AGM is held in a public hall or room in a local Public House. An invitation and Agenda requesting attendance to the AGM are distributed to all leaseholders before the meeting.
