What We Do
Esher Place Residents Limited was incorporated in 1975 to take over the management of the Estate from the informal body, Esher Place Residents Association.
This company is run on a non-profit basis. Any excess of contributions and other income over expenditure in any year is retained for funding the objectives of the Company. The objectives of the company are set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Company’s principle activity is to raise funds to pay for operational costs in connection with the running of the Estate and to save for future capital expenditure, including road resurfacing, drainage and maintenance of gullies, street lighting, small areas of gardens, and footpaths leading on to the Estate.
The Directors are elected from the members at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Articles of Association. No salaries or fees are paid to Directors.
The Residents Association is always keen to encourage interested members to help. If you can spare some time, either as a Board member, or as a volunteer/helper, your input and assistance would be much appreciated.
If you are interested please contact the directors@eprl.uk.
We use managing agents Simpson Wreford & Partners to assist with invoicing and bookkeeping matters. The Company’s year-end is 30 April and annual accounts are presented to the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, which takes place around October of each year.
The Company’s registered office is the address of our auditors, Messrs Reay & King, 87 High Street, Wimbledon Village, London SW19 5EG.
As far as rules of the Estate are concerned, these are contained in the Schedules to the Title Deeds of individual properties.
Owners pay an annual contribution to meet ongoing maintenance and improvement costs, and to accumulate a Reserve Fund to cover major capital expenditure. The rate for 2023/24 is £700, for 2024/25 will be £750 and for 2025/26 will be £850. It is anticipated that the contribution rate will reduce once the road resurfacing programme is completed. This sum may periodically vary by way of a Vote at a General Meeting.
The primary ongoing annual cost items can be summarised as follows:
• Security and ANPR
• Street lighting, garden and signs maintenance
• Audit and accountancy costs
• Road and drainage repairs
• Social Events
The roads were last resurfaced and drains partly restored in late 2000 / early 2001. A complete resurfacing programme is planned for summer 2025.
