DETAILED INFORMATION
Valid from 28 September 2011.
Every flat owner at Laurel Manor owns one Ordinary Share in Laurel Manor (No 1) Limited for Flats 41-68 or Laurel Manor Management (No 2) Limited for Flats 1-40 and is a Director of the relevant company. Under the terms of all Laurel Manor Leases the two companies are jointly responsible for the management of Laurel Manor in all respects except the arrangement of buildings insurance (at the cost of Leaseholders), which remained the responsibility of the Freeholder, Proudale Limited.
However, with effect from 28 September 2009 a new company, Laurel Manor RTMC Company Limited ("RTMC"), assumed full responsibility under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 for the management, including buildings insurance, of the development of the 68 flats and 68 garages known as Laurel Manor. The Directors of RTMC retain formal control but until further notice have for a number of practical reasons delegated the day to day management responsibility back to Laurel Manor Management through the joint Committee thereof.
We have recently had enquiries about the principal Laurel Manor lease. The committe have decided to publish it HERE for those interested.
The seven Directors of RTMC are the same individuals as the members of the joint Laurel Management Committee elected at the AGM of Laurel Manor Management (No 1)/(No 2) Limited in June 2011.
