Directors Meeting – 25th June 2019

Leave a Reply

The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited met for a regular meeting to discuss various matters arising in the running of the building.  

The following are highlights of the discussions:

  • Debtors – whilst there are only a few people owing large sums of money they are persistent offenders.  Action to investigate tightening up the debt collection and policy. 
  • Budgets – a clear picture of maintenance costs rising significantly over the year for door and lift repairs alongside security.  Directors are only approving essential expenditure.  Will plan to increase maintenance budgets in September.
  • Latest combine Fire and Health & Safety assessment reviewed.  No high-risk issues were found.  Other items to be addressed if appropriate with HML.
  • General discussion over major repairs resulted in agreement to hold special meeting at end of July to discuss in detail. 
  • Guest room income is to be re-directed into RPFL account and Directors to take over management in September. 
  • Owners of shares in the freehold to be surveyed for interest in new Articles of Association to allow for dividends or RP improvements.

Pier and Balcony survey

Leave a Reply

Over the next days (depending on weather and availability) you will see some investigation work on the pier as we assess, with a contractor and surveyor, what works are required. Please take obvious care whilst we make these investigations which will include lifting some boards.

We are also assessing what works can be made on the balconies without scaffolding (there are obvious issues of working at height). Some non-structural work may be possible including some localised repainting where bare metal has been exposed. Following the balcony survey of last year please feel free to reply to this post and remind us of your balcony concerns or add a new comment. As a word of caution: any works this year will be limited as the General Maintenance budget is almost exhausted.

Annual Residents’ Briefing Slides

On the 11th of December the Directors held the Annual Residents’ Briefing in the upper lobby of Regatta Point.  There was a very good turn out of nearly 30 people, HML Shaw were represented by Irwin Alvisse and representatives of Orrins (the installers for the new roadside windows) were also there to answer questions and demonstrate the new windows design.

Thanks to all who attended and for providing the Directors with your thoughts and advice and all the matters we discussed.

Attached are a copy of the slides we discussed at the meeting

Annual Residents Meeting 5th December 2017

The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited invited all residents and owners to the annual briefing held in the upper lobby at Regatta Point where they reviewed last year and looked ahead to the next.  They aimed to brief all attendees on a variety of important matters and answer any questions raised.  The Directors also wanted to gain feedback from residents on how they would like to move forward in certain matters.

Additionally, a letter from Paula Bowman regarding the windows project is similarly available.  This is regardless of it being outside of the Section 20 process that the Directors are legally obliged to follow – they felt her views should be aired as requested and noted that nobody at the meeting expressed the same opinions.

The following are actions to be taken by the Directors as a result of the discussions:

  1. Request residents to report on their balcony paint work and wood decking to ascertain their state of repairs.  Interim repair and tidy up may be needed for some so as to delay the major refurbishment.
  2. Checked valid emergency telephone numbers used in the UK
    ANSWER: 999 and 112 work on all phones in the UK. 911 only works on mobile phones.
  3. Ask one of our suppliers to survey RP flat doors to see if residents want cold-smoke and/or intumescent strips fitting.
  4. Alarm to be sounded in the event of a fire.  Even with a stay put policy the consensus was that residents would want an alarm to sound so they can make their own choice.
  5. Secure the website so that information on keys etc. is no longer available to the public.
  6. Send a note asking all residents to respect others parking spaces – even if they appear not to be used.  Ask Michael to co-ordinate any kind offers from residents who can make spare spaces available to fellow residents.
  7. Alan Kohn offered the services of his drone for inspection of the roadside elevation of the building to aid inspection for the windows tender process.
  8. The reaction from all attending was positive to go ahead with the new windows based on the design shown. Residents expressed gratitude for the notice of the likely cost of this work in advance.  Details of how the project would be managed for each flat and the approach for internal “make good” work needs to be developed in detail.
