2 2 RESIDENT STEERING GROUP The first resident steering group (RSG) took place on the 6th October and a following meeting was held on the 2nd. The RSG is open to all residents on the estate. The group s role is to be representative and act for all residents on the estate, communicating and working closely with Guinness. The group will be involved in developing a Residents Charter which will outline principles to ensure the redevelopment process is fair and inclusive for the future of the Northwold Estate residents and the community. We currently have several spaces available, and to be as representative of the estate as possible the group particularly requires residents from Melton, Hendale, Fernhill, Aldergrove and Brierley to be part of the steering group that will meet regularly. Please contact us if you are interested in joining and to find out more. NEXT PUBLIC MEETING The next public meeting will take place towards the end of or the beginning of December. The public meeting will be spread over two days. We hold resident meetings at the LEASEHOLDER UPDATE The Guinness Partnership are in the process of setting up a support package for leaseholders directly affected by the the redevelopment. Guinness are planning to hold 1-1 sessions with leaseholders to discuss individual circumstances. They are also planning to provide detail on independent financial advice services that will be made available to all directly affected leaseholders. Guinness will directly correspond with leaseholders in due course. We will be doing a flyer delivery to each home and sending out s and texts to notify you of the date and time. COMMUNITY CENTRE Guinness has stated an intention to demolish the existing community centre and rebuild a new community centre that remains centrally located within the estate. At this stage, Guinness is talking to current providers Child UK, to discuss their needs in order to ensure they can continue to run services at Northwold in the future. WHAT HAVE GUINNESS PROPOSED? Enhance the landscaping and community facilities, including reproviding a new community centre. That there will be an overall increase in social rent homes, in addition to a increase of affordable rent and homes for private sale. A set of Guinness Guarantees for tenants and leaseholders which are displayed on the opposite page
3 3 GUINNESS GUARANTEES Residents have frequently contacted us about how the redevelopment will affect them as a tenant or leaseholder. The below information is what Guinness have issued to date as a set of guarantees for residents. The Guinness Guarantees as outlined below to residents are from the Guinness letter dated 20th September. TENANTS Any tenant with an assured, secure or fixed-term tenancy who wishes to continue to live on the estate will have the opportunity to do so; You will be guaranteed a new property and where possible we will try to match the new property with your housing needs; You will remain on the estate during the development and we aim to make sure you only have to move once; Your tenancy conditions will be protected you will have the same tenancy type at your new home; Your rent will remain the same and will only change if you move to a smaller or larger home; You will be provided with a tailored support package to move, including both practical and financial support; and Guinness will pay you a statutory home loss payment plus reasonable costs of removal and disturbance. RESIDENT LEASEHOLDERS There are a number of options available to resident leaseholders such as: Leasehold swap: this means you can opt to buy a new lease on a new home on the estate at 100% equity share; Leasehold swap with shared equity: this means if you are unable to afford the full value of a new home, you can acquire an equity share of a new home. The value of the equity share would be the same as the value of your existing property, with Guinness owning the other share. There would be no rent payable on the equity share owned by Guinness; and Shared ownership: We can offer leaseholders a conventional shared ownership option this means that resident leaseholders can share ownership with Guinness on a new home. All resident leaseholders who qualify will be entitled to receive: A home loss payment plus reasonable disturbance costs, stamp duty and mortgage redemption and/or arrangement fees; We will pay relevant and reasonable legal and valuation costs, which enable leaseholders to obtain their own independent advice; An advisor will provide assistance with the transaction and moving home; and We will provide additional assistance to homeowners in financial difficulties and for homeowners who consider themselves vulnerable. NON-RESIDENT LEASEHOLDERS Non-resident leaseholders qualify for a basic loss payment and a limited right to reasonable incidental costs when buying alternative accommodation in the UK within 12 months.
