Surbiton Court Flats 1-69 is managed by a Board of Directors, comprised of Members and
elected by Members.
Everyone who owns a flat in Surbiton Court is automatically a Member of SCRA
Ltd. Members are entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.
Members who are in arrears with their maintenance are not entitled to vote at
the AGM until their debt is cleared. A flat owned by two, or more, people is
entitled to one vote, that is, one vote per flat.
The Board is ultimately responsible for the upkeep and maintenance
of the structure and the external fabric of the buildings. This includes the common parts
(cleaning, gardening, drains, communal lighting, etc.), the block insurance, and the day-to-day running of
Surbiton Court. The Board follows a pro-active schedule of preventative
maintenance, which involves prioritising work on a rolling programme basis.
The Board meets approximately once a month and a summary of each meeting is posted on
the Blog.
As of 1st July 2024, the Board has entrusted the day-to-day running of the Court and
its buildings to Snellers Property Management.
If you have any questions about the Court or issues you wish to raise, you can still
use the contact information on the Contact
page of this web site, but in many cases you will find that the response will come back from
one of the Snellers property managers who look after us.
