Agents Note
This property boasts a 999 year lease from 12th April 1990. There is a service charge of approximately £120 per calender month and due on the first of each month. Further details of this can be obtained from the vendors solicitor at the time of purchase.

Agents Note
It is understood the lease contains a special 'Sinking Fund' provision, to cope with the cost of major repairs, renewals and improvements etc. The cost of the 'Sinking Fund' is not added to the service charge, but instead the owners contribute to the Sinking Fund when they eventually sell their property and leave Goodrick Place. We have been advised that the rate of charge is 0.4% of the eventual sale price, multiplied by the number of full years in residence and then a portion monthly thereafter. The Sinking Fund is to ensure that Goodrick Place is kept in good repair and that improvements are made to keep it up to modern standards. Having adequate funds available to cover future major expenditure, repairs and renewals should ensure that the property will retain its value and continue to be a good investment in the future.
