Agent's Note Including Lease, Pets Etc

This is a quality Eco-Home, part of an enterprising small development of highly energy efficient homes utilising environmentally sensitive building materials. For further details regarding construction methods and materials please see or /

Close to the development a listed building has been converted into a well regarded riverside cafe, Sunday morning breakfasts should be a riverfront delight.

Built to a high eco standard in December 2005 this flat is on a long lease. We understand that each of the 12 households has equal shares in the management company, but the management charge was worked out on the square footage of each property by the first Management Committee.
The charge is apportioned on the measurements for each property. The management charge is for the maintenance of the Communal Garden, Car Park, private road and all other communal outside areas.

The (annual) ground rents cover the decoration and repairs to lobby, stairs and other shared areas only in the block of 4 flats.

Every property is responsible for its own maintenance and repairs and all usual household expenses like any other privately owned property.
The management charge has recently been reduced from £470.15 to £413.19 per annum. There is a ground rent of £100 per annum

Lease: Is for 125 years from 1st January 2004 and so has 110 years left to run. It can be extended by the management committee.

Pets & covenants:

- Only to use the property as a private residence for individual or single family occupation and not to carry on any trade business or profession at the property
- Not to keep any dog, cat, bird or other animal or reptile in the property without the prior written consent of the management company which can be revoked at their reasonable discretion
- Not to alter the plan design or elevation of the property (which will probably include the courtyard area).

Flood Insurance

These homes are close to the River Parrett so some may worry about flood insurance. Despite the severe local floods of 2013/2014 these homes were all untouched. We suggest asking our local insurance expert Ann Jones of Higos in Somerton
