We will pay up to 6% of the deferred management fee from each resale into the capital replacement fund. This fund will be used for replacing capital items, both within your home and the Estate’s communal areas, once they reach the end of their useful life.
The long-term maintenance fund is funded through a contribution from your maintenance fees. This fund will be used to cover the cost of major repairs to capital items.
The Estate is fenced and has entry and exit gates. The entrance gate is generally open during daytime hours Monday to Friday and is closed at other times and on weekends. Residents are provided with their own remote control to open the entrance gate when in close proximity. After-hours visitors to the estate can contact your villa from the keypad at the entrance gate. You can open the gate for visitors from your home phone. All villas have fenced private rear yards.
