The Estate, built in the 1950's is located in Eltham, South East London, SE9 and comprises of 108 flats across 9 Blocks, with gardens, parking and garages. The flats are mainly owner occupied with an engaged team of directors who take an active interest in the day to day running of the estate.
Completed a service charge review, Completed a major works program, Reduced service charge arrears and Completed a review of their insurance policy
Managed a separate account for services charges and for a reserve fund, which is permitted within the lease. Accounts are balanced using industry specific Qube management software and directors meet monthly to review these. There are currently no service charge arrears exceeding 30 days and the service charge accounts are in credit. All original invoices are made available to directors to view and no additional charges are added to invoices. The service charge budget is currently set at £178,700/year with insurances on top of this.
The Service charge is set in accordance with the lease on an annual basis in discussion with the Directors, based on previous years spending and any planned works.
The Estate has been fully managed by Jennings and Barrett since 2002. The Directors have a range of preferred contractors to carry out planned maintenance and to respond to repairs as required.
Section 20’s works carried out have included a full roof renewal programme completed in 2012, Exterior decorations carried out on a rolling basis of two blocks/year as per the terms of the lease and the installation of entryphone systems across the estate in 2015.
Site visits and meetings with directors are carried held formally every 6 weeks and also on an ad hoc basis as requested or where required.
We manage arrears in a robust manner and as at September 2018 there was just one service charge outstanding. This was being managed through our arrears process and action is taken where service charges are outstanding for more than 30 days.
We arrange buildings insurance for the estate and in order to ensure our RMC directors are protected also arrange the annual directors and officers insurance policy.

Liaised with the new leaseholders and residents to answer any queries and help set-up the new RMC
We worked closely with the developer during the final stages and whilst leaseholders started taking occupation. We liaised with the new leaseholders and residents to answer any queries. It was at this stage that we were looking for Directors for the new Resident Management Company (RMC).
Once all the properties were sold a meeting was held with all the leaseholders. At the meeting the budget was reviewed and an explanation was provided about all about the services in the building and the costs associated with those services. The need for a suitable reserve fund was explained to leaseholders and they agreed an amount that should be allocated to the reserve fund every year
