The Deed of Conditions set out the establishment for an Owners' Association. It currently does not have an Advisory Committee - a group of members that are voted at a General Meeting to organise, run and manage the Association on behalf of all members. At present, we are trying to establish the need for an Owners' Association and can then proceed to organising a meeting to vote for an Advisory Committee.

At the moment, myself, Lhyam Sumal, is posting the information. I have been frustrated with the factor and their lack of accountability around poor service and poor value for money. This is what led me to look into establishing an Owners' Association. I can be contacted by e-mail or 07772321495.

Yes! The more help the better, and the more voices, the stronger this group becomes. Please contact me or register with this site to participate. Please note, you must be an owner to be able to vote on issues.

Yes. The factor is appointed on behalf of the development. The Deed of Conditions very clearly set out that an Owners' Association is above the factor (known as the Manager). All home owners are automatically members, including joint home owners. If 25% of members call for a meeting, the factor must organise one. If 40% of members attend a meeting, those members can vote on matters discussed at the meeting and if there is a majority vote, then the factor must act as instructed by the Association.

Yes. The factor is required to hold an Annual General Meeting at least once per year, and no later than 15 months of the previous AGM. The Association can put forward a motion to change, dismiss or re-tender the property factor. Meetings require a minimum of 40% of members to attend. This can be in-person or online. If there is a majority vote at the meeting, then the motion passes.

It's important that all residents on the development are aware of what an Owners' Association is doing. The purpose of this site is to share that information publicly, including those that do not use social media. This web site is not intended to replace the Facebook Group. However, it is intended for only sharing information relating to the Association's activities.

Only home owners / residents are invited to register as a member of this site to be able to take part in discussion, or to post topics of their own.

This web site uses the Voice Online Communities platform, which is free for non-profit organisations. The domain name (brackenhillpark.org.uk) was purchased by Lhyam Sumal for £6 on behalf of (the future) Owners' Association. Going forward, once the Association is properly established, this will be transferred to the Association.
