To maintain the garden village community, all properties are
sold subject to a number of conditions which are contained in
covenants in the property transfer documentation.
These covenants cover:
- The resale of the property -buyback
- Subletting of the property
- Participation in the "Village Scheme"
Buyback clause
Within the first 21 years of purchase, if you wish to sell the
property you must offer to sell the property back to us. We will
let you know within one month if we wish to buy the property back
form you.
Sub-letting
We will not allow purchasers that want to "buy to let".
We will also not allow subletting without our permission, and
this would be for short periods only (if you had a good reason) for
example if you were doing voluntary service overseas (V.S.O.),
travelling abroad, or maybe undertaking a study placement or work
secondment.
The main objectives of the village scheme are to maintain the
garden village aspect, preserve the environment and amenities of
the village, control future development of the village and to
maintain open spaces.
The annual charge to residents is in 2005 £247. The charge is
reviewed each year. You can pay a one off cost annually, or
monthly. For further information click on the link to
