Tenure - The property is leasehold for a term of 125 years from 25th December 1989. The residue of that leasehold interest is available. All the apartments are sold with 80% equity with the 20% share being retained by Curo (formally the Somer Community Housing Trust). The apartments are sold with no chain. Residents have the security of knowing that the freeholder will undertake the management development and be responsible for the maintenance of the grounds, common parts, building insurance, exterior repairs and decoration.
The development is restricted to those persons over 55. It offers independence but with the security offered by the support of a leasehold officer and in their absence, an emergency alarm call system that is directed to a 24 hour emergency control facility.
Major works are ongoing at Meadow Court new windows, flat entrance fire doors and new lift have recently been installed. Over the next few years works will continue which will include fire alarm, emergency lighting etc, updating of communal areas to include decoration, heating and wiring work(this is not an exhaustive list). Whilst we cannot confirm service charges for future years (as they are calculated annually) 80% of the costs expended will be passed on to the leaseholders. As a guide for the year 2024/25 the service charge for this flat is £2737.12 including the contribution to the major works. It is anticipated that investment in the building will have a positive impact on the future value of the flats. Please make any further queries with a negotiator who can put you in touch with the freeholder. All tenure and service charges, details should be confirmed with your legal adviser prior to exchange of contracts.
Council Tax - According to the Valuation Office Agency website, cti.voa.gov.uk the present Council Tax Band for the property is C. Please note that change of ownership is a 'relevant transaction' that can lead to the review of the existing council tax banding assessment.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 21, 2021
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 8, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
