Tenure - Each owner at Barrington Grange owns an equal share of the freehold, alongside their existing leasehold interests, which remain unchanged. This arrangement has been in place since around 2004, when the residents, through Barrington Grange Management (Powick) Ltd, collectively purchased the freehold. The acquisition was made possible by an exclusive option agreement, which granted the management company the sole right to buy the freehold from its original owner, cpm Securities. The purchase price for each property was calculated at ten times its annual ground rent. When Barrington Grange was converted by Bovis Homes and completed in 2001, all 16 properties were initially sold on 999-year leases, with the freehold retained by cpm Securities.

Service Charge – £153.00 per month - The service charge includes building insurance, garden maintenance, lift servicing, fire safety equipment checks, external painting every four years, gutter clearing, external window cleaning, bin cleaning, as well as the cleaning and upkeep of the gym and car park.
