Maintenance Responsibilities
What am I responsible for maintaining in my property?
Your lease describes the boundaries of your property and its demise, which sets out all elements you are directly responsible for maintaining. This typically includes the interior of the property and certain fixtures. Please refer to your lease for the full extent of your maintenance obligations.
What are the common parts of my building and who manages them?
Common parts are the areas of the building shared by or accessible to all leaseholders, such as common staircases, landings, and communal gardens. Your managing agent collects service charges and oversees the maintenance and upkeep of the common parts. Please contact your managing agent for any concerns about the condition of common areas.
My property requires maintenance or repair. Who do I contact?
E&J Estates does not provide property maintenance services. Please contact whoever manages your property day-to-day, which will usually be the party to whom you pay your service charges. If you are unsure who is responsible, your lease will set out the management obligations. Some leases place self-maintenance obligations on leaseholders for certain elements such as drains, roofs, gardens, and common parts.
