The managing agents fees and costs associated with the administration of the Property Factor
The scope of these charges can change over the lifetime of a development. Will the estimated cost increase?
How and when will the Charges be invoiced?
The Annual Maintenance Cost has been estimated by the Managing Agent and is an estimate of the costs likely to be incurred in the first year or so after they take on the management of the Development. These costs are likely to increase in line with inflation, as per the provisions of the Transfer, and the Managing Agent will keep you informed on an annual basis of the costs.
The Managing Agent will issue formal Estate Management Charge invoices to you. They will collect this usually in either quarterly or six-monthly installments. The Estate Management Charge will be collected in advance, so that there is money available to pay for the services provided.
On a larger development, once certain elements of the Estate communal areas are physically available on the development, the developer may elect to undertake the Estate Services and will then issue the Estate Management Charge invoices until such time as the Managing Agent takes over the day-to-day Estate management functions.
What should I do if I have any other questions?
