FEES & CHARGES

Monthly Service Charge

The service charge for The Pavilion, Rowan Lane and Birch Close is a variable charge based on the actual costs of providing the services. It changes annually on 1 July. We give one month’s notice of any change in the charge. We hold an annual meeting with residents on the budget and welcome feedback on the services we provide.

If costs rise or fall, or if we are unable to provide a particular service and cannot make alternative arrangements, the service charge will be altered accordingly. We cannot give guarantees about the level of service charge in future years as it is mainly influenced by the cost of goods and services on the open market.

The service charge is held on trust for residents as required under the Landlord & Tenant Act 1987. Service charges remain payable until a property is resold.

Event Fee (Contingency Fund contribution)

On resale, each apartment contributes through an Event Fee to a Contingency Fund to cover major works such as relining the pool or replacing the roofs. The Event Fee is calculated as 0.5% of the resale price achieved multiplied by the number of years or part-years of ownership, with a cap at 10%. It is payable from the proceeds of the resale on completion. The full amount of each Fee goes into the Fund.

A buy-to-let owner will be required to pay the Event Fee every 20 years in the instance the property is owned for more than 20 years.

This arrangement means that the annual service charges are much lower than they would be if the costs of major works had to be recovered instead from the service charge.
