Managed by Red Rock
12 luxury leasehold apartments in a new-build property
Replacement of entire fire alarm system, including all communal and individual sounders and smoke/heat detectors.
The communal fire alarm system was found to be non-operational following a routine service visit and the replacement parts were obsolete, only 4 years after installation.
Conversations were held with the installers, manufacturers and the Freeholder of the building, whilst Red Rock applied to the FTT for Dispensation under Section 20ZA of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985 with immediate effect.
Communication was sent to all Leaseholders to inform them of the issue. Red Rock updated and worked alongside the resident Directors and Leaseholders to ensure the fire alarm was replaced as quickly as possible to guarantee the safety of residents.
The FTT granted approval within a matter of days whilst the most competitive quotation was sought and instructed.
Red Rock over-saw access arrangements with each of the apartments and garages to ensure that the system could be tested and commissioned speedily. Whilst also making sure the work was carried out quickly, Red Rock ensured that the Management Company was compliant with all legislation and bylaws pertaining to The Landlord & Tenant Act and received many e-mails and calls of gratification for dealing with the issue quickly and efficiently.
