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 an additional charge for the One Bed Flats.

• One bedroom properties pay this additional charge to cover the higher maintenance costs in these blocks. This covers the cleaning, upkeep and maintenance of the common parts of each block. Building insurance of the block is also included
• Two bedroom properties only pay the general charge because the Leaseholders themselves carry the entire responsibility for maintaining and insuring them
• If service charges are not paid within one month of the required date, a surcharge of £50 is levied. If there is a further month's delay in payment, a surcharge of a further £50 is payable.

Policy

The policy of the Directors is pitch the charges at a level which enables the routine costs of annual maintenance and any required capital expenditure to be covered. A budget is sent to all leaseholders for the forthcoming year with the January service charge invoices.

Because the Management Company is non-profit making and elects its Directors on a voluntary basis from amongst the Leaseholders, the service charges are held at the minimum level possible to achieve this policy. This means that when a major refurbishment becomes necessary, the Management Company may have to levy an additional service charge demand to cover this work.

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. An annual AGM is held in a public hall or room in a local Public House. An invitation and agenda for the AGM are distributed to all Leaseholders before the meeting.
