Leaseholders Living in Flats
If you live in a flat, you will live closer to your neighbours than other people in houses and you may share communal areas. Living so close together means that you must show consideration to your neighbours concerning noise, cleaning and using the entry phone system (if there is one).
Noise travels easily between flats and you can annoy neighbours without realising it, so please keep your radio, stereo and television down to a reasonable level, especially late at night. Children playing on the communal areas can also have a serious effect on many people and spoil the enjoyment of their home.
In blocks of flats with communal entrances, we are responsible for looking after the communal lighting, redecorating and maintenance of the communal areas (although we recover the cost of doing so through the service charge) but, residents are jointly responsible for cleaning the stairs, landings, foyers, etc.
Please use the bin facilities provided. If you have any bulky items to dispose of you should contact use the online booking form (online booking form (Opens in New Window). ) to arrange collection. (Please note there is a charge for this service). Items such as old furniture should not be dumped next to bin stores or in the inner communal areas of the block under any circumstances.
If your block is equipped with a door entry system so you can control who enters the block, do not let anyone in unless they are visiting you and you know why they have called. It is important, for fire safety reasons, that you do not prop communal doors open.
