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.

What is so special about Teddington Grange Management Ltd?

There are three answers:

• If you're a Leaseholder TGML is your company. When you bought your property you bought a share in the company from the previous owner

• TGML is non-profit making. Its Directors do not take any remuneration and ensure that the service charges are used prudently to cover the expenses of maintaining the estate.

• TGML sets the service charges. The directors in liaison with the managing agent oversee the gardening, the hard landscaping and the upkeep of the communal areas of the one bedroom blocks

This means that as a shareholder you have a direct input into the running of the estate. This is why TGML asks for volunteers from time to time and hope new people will come forward to be elected as Directors at the AGM. We currently have six but can take up to ten. If you wish to help keep the estate a pleasant and attractive place to live please contact one of the existing Directors or use our Feedback Form to find out more.
