Heading: Noise and Dumped Items in Communal Areas
Date: 30/06/2022
Details: We have received a number of complaints about noise, disturbance and items being dumped in the communal areas. We kindly ask for all residents to adhere to the following guidelines:-

•  All residents to be mindful of their neighbours by keeping all noise to a minimum.
•  Do not leave the doors to the development unlocked, open and / or on the catch – this poses a security risk and will invalidate the buildings insurance.
•  Do not leave vehicles or motorbikes running unnecessarily in the car park.
•  Under no circumstances should any items be stored in any of the communal areas, cupboards or bike store as this poses a significant fire safety hazard and breaches the Fire Risk Assessment.
•  For landlords with tenants in situ, please ensure you update your tenants and / or letting agents with regards to the above.

Please note that admin charges and / or breach of lease charges will be incurred should we have to make contact with residents ignoring the above.  For landlords with tenants in situ, please ensure that your tenant is made aware to avoid incurring charges as the leaseholder.  Thank you.

Heading: Breach of Security – Front Door and Animal Mess
Date: 04/04/2022
Details: A reminder to all residents to ensure that the front door is closed firmly behind you when entering and exiting the building.  The door being left open is a major security risk and will invalidate the buildings insurance for the development. 

Furthermore, mess left by either a dog or cat has had to be cleaned up by the letterboxes.  The mess may be as a result of a dog or cat gaining access with the door being left open or a resident allowing their pet to soil in the communal area without cleaning up after them.  Either way, this is totally unacceptable.

Please ensure that the front door is kept closed.  Thank you for your urgent co-operation.

Details: A reminder that the bin men WILL NOT take any rubbish which is dumped outside of the bins.  The bin store is also not a dumping ground for unwanted furniture and items with house moves.  Residents are responsible for either taking larger items either direct to the local tip or contacting the Council to arrange collection from their apartment.  Breach of lease charges will be incurred, together with clean up costs if we become aware of anyone dumping their rubbish.

Heading: Coronavirus (COVID19) – ISOLATION
Date: 31/03/2020
Details: ISOLATION

If you are in self-isolation because you have or may have contracted Covid-19 it is vital that you let us know as soon as possible so that we can contact the rest of the residents to let them know that they should take extra precautions and increase their sanitation and so that, as necessary, we can organise a deep clean of the communal areas in accordance with PHE guidance.

When you contact us, please can you also advise how you are organising deliveries, particularly food, to your apartment and how rubbish is to be disposed of. Please remember: –

• rubbish should only be placed outside of your apartment door at a specific time for collection.
• that whoever is picking up the rubbish should be properly protected.
• that all rubbish must be double bagged.
• rubbish which contains personal waste (e.g. tissues) and cleaning cloths must be isolated within the flat for 72 hours before being disposed of in communal bin stores.

We would also ask that you also let us know if you become aware that any of your neighbours have gone into self-isolation.

Heading: Coronavirus (COVID19)
Date: 18/03/2020
Details: As you will be aware, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is spreading across the country and is a cause for concern for all of us. It is anticipated that COVID-19 will cause disruption to all businesses and to our day-to-day lives over the coming weeks and months.

As the government’s guidance is likely to change as time passes, we would like to make you aware we have a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in place to enable us to maintain a level of service during these unprecedented and difficult times.

Our office is currently open, but we have systems in place to allow our staff to work remotely if required. However, in the event that our BCP is put into effect and our office has to close, even with key staff working from home and engineers/contractors in the field, it is highly likely that you will experience some disruption in the services provided due to reduced capability. We will do whatever we can to minimise any such disruption but would ask for your patience and understanding while we work to maintain services during this period.

You will appreciate this is an evolving situation. We will continue to act on the advice provided by Public Health England and will inform you if there is any material change to our business continuity. 

For further information and the latest advice regarding COVID-19, please visit: –

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public

As it important that we are all kept up to date about the spread of COVID-19, we ask that you inform us immediately if you or if you know of anyone in your apartment block who has either been diagnosed with COVID-19 or advised to self-isolate. We can then make the other residents and the building service contractors aware of the situation.

We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Important – For Owners & Residents

To help protect the developments and individual properties during this period, we urge owners to ensure that all their electrical appliances, boilers, heaters, water supply, kitchen and bathroom plumbing are checked and maintained to minimise leaks.  For all owners & residents, please ensure that the security of the development is maintained by ensuring the communal doors are shut when entering and exiting the premises.  Please also be mindful of your neighbours regarding noise, especially during the day with more people having to work from home during this difficult period.
