NOTICE OF INTENT - LEASEHOLDERS SUMMARY EXPLANATORY NOTES
1. Your major works service charges are apportioned to your flat or house on the basis of its Rateable Value. Although, Council Tax Bandings replaced Rateable Values some years ago, most of our leases make reference to Rateable Values and the Council has therefore decided to retain them as a means of calculating service charges.
2. Your Block Rateable Value is the total of the individual Rateable Values for each unit in your block. This will enable us to calculate your proportion of block costs.
3. Your Estate Rateable Value is the total of the individual Rateable Values for each unit on your estate. This will enable us to calculate your proportion of estate costs.
4. Your Percentage Apportionment of Estate Costs is calculated by dividing your individual Rateable Value by the Total block Rateable Value.
5. Your Percentage Apportionment of Block Costs is calculated by dividing your individual Rateable Value by the Total Block Rateable Value.
6. The Total Estate Wide Costs are those costs incurred in relation to communal estate works under this contract.
7. The Total Block Costs are those costs incurred in relation to works to your block under this contract (but excluding the cost of any non-structural work to tenanted or void units).
