On occasions the ‘booster’ system which carries the signal from the main dish/aerial fails and requires a call out from an independent contractor. If this is the case, please contact your estate manager who will be able to advise.
This can lead to disputes with the freeholder, other leaseholders or more seriously breaches of fire safety regulations, potential enforcement action or worse still hindering residents escape in the event of a fire. If, during a site visit, a Property Manager spots an obstructing object in the corridor, a notice card will either be posted through letterboxes or placed on the object itself.
The corridors and common parts are effectively owned by the freeholder with the leaseholder demise starting at the front door of the flat. It is however often the case that leaseholders begin to take ownership of these areas by using them to store items such as pushchairs, bicycles and boxes, or they begin to claim the space around their front doors with door mats, plant pots or tables despite these areas not being in their lease and may become a serious trip hazard.
It is very important that the common areas are always kept clear. Should there be a fire anyone doing this may be held liable for any consequences that result. Any equipment that blocks the halls, stairs or landings cannot be permitted or condoned under any circumstances. Please read the Fire Action Board, located on the notice board for details. Should you have any questions about the fire procedures please speak to your Property Manager. To avoid a fire or trip hazard that may affect the safe evacuation of residents in the event of a fire, please follow the guidelines that we provide online.
