So we recently purchased a new build on an ‘estate’ of 15 house’s. 13 of those houses were built by one developer and mine and my neighbours house were a separate development. During the purchase, we were made aware that we did not need to pay into a management company for the estate as we are a development of just 2 houses. And we would only be using the road through the main estate for access to our two houses.
Now a group of owners on the other builds ae deciding to setup their own ‘fund management’ for the estate management and are saying we need to pay into this?
As far as I am aware I do not need to do this, as we use the road purely for access, and this would almost be like saying that anybody who uses that road so postman etc would have to pay a maintenance charge.
Does anyone have any experience of this? I have sent an email to the developer and my solicitor as well for confirmation but will have to wait until next week for a response, so thought there might be someone on here who may know something.
Thanks in advance.
