GENERAL:
TENURE Leasehold (unexpired portion of 99-year lease dated 1998).
SERVICE CHARGE Understood to be around £116 per month, which sum includes payments towards buildings insurance, general repairs and maintenance of the building and communal areas, the provision of a 24-hour emergency call system, and the services of a resident estate manager.
RESALE CHARGE We believe that upon the resale of this property, an on-going contribution to the sinking fund becomes payable, calculated at the rate of 1% of the sale price multiplied by the number of years' ownership.
COUNCIL TAX Band B (£1338.75 per annum 2016/17).
OUR VIEW: “It would be a reasonably fair argument, I think, to say that this development is the best-placed of all the "overs" flats in the area: it's close to shops (including Waitrose), has reasonably level access, is right opposite a doctor's surgery, and close to a cinema, library and a selection of excellent eateries too. This flat is on the first floor, yet has its own front door at ground level (plus a stairlift, should you need one). At the top of the stairs is a pleasant sitting area (it's actually part of the hallway to be honest, but that rather undersells it) with a window that overlooks the front door. This means you can see who is calling before you remotely release the catch. The living room is of a good size, and with two windows is bright and airy, and there are two bedrooms and bags of storage space.” Martin G. Haigh
