A contractor is employed by the Management Company to maintain the gardens on a weekly basis.

 

Window cleaning

A contractor is employed to clean apartment widows (excluding skylights) every four weeks. As part of their contract they also change any external light bulbs that maybe defective.

 

Digital Aerials

All apartment blocks are fitted with a digital aerial. Additional aerials such as satellite dishes are not permitted without consultation with the management company.

 

Pets

Pets are not permitted on site without prior written agreement from the Management Company. Should a pet be allowed, we insist fouling is removed immediately. Dogs are not permitted in first floor apartments or allowed roam without a lead.

 

Discrimination Policy

Discriminative behaviour toward a resident or visitor will not be tolerated by Watlands Management Company or the residents committee. Any form of discrimination, be it based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age will be dealt with robustly in conjunction with the relevant authorities.

 

Smoking inside your apartment or on a patio or balcony

Cigarette smoke does filter into adjacent apartments; this can be particularly unpleasant for a non smoker. Smoking inside an apartment also increases your insurance premium. Where ever possible we ask that courtesy is displayed.

 

Building Insurance

The Management Company is responsible for the site building insurance. Vehicles left on Portland Mews are parked at the owner’s risk.

 

Site Services

A communal water tap and electric is available on site for the use of residents.

 

Car Parking Arrangements

Each apartment is allocated one space with additional parking in the visitors parking area. Vans or lettered vehicles are not permitted. Local parking arrangements do operate.
