Commercial Properties currently form almost a quarter of the factored properties managed by the Association.

Just like residential owners, owners of commercial properties have shared responsibilities for the upkeep , maintenance and the management of the common parts of the building although it is accepted that the maintenance of the common close is not usually included unless the commercial property has access and use of a wc within the close. However, items like the roof, foundations, gutters and downpipes ie key elements of the building are everyone's responsibility including commercials.

The particular difficulty for owners of commercial premises is that even if the shop is not trading , the owner is still responsible along with the other owners in the block to pay their share of the common charges.

The Association has a leaflet called Information for Owners of Residential and Commercial Properties which is sent out annually to all owners in April of each year. You can access it under the News & Publications Tab above.
