Managing a Coastal Block in Torquay

Blocks in Torquay come under Torbay Council, a unitary authority, so building control, planning and licensing all sit with the same body. The office at Queen Anne's Battery is roughly 32 miles away by road, which is a routine drive for inspections and contractor meetings. Torquay stock is coastal, and salt-laden air shortens the life of render, metalwork, glazing seals and external decoration, so the maintenance cycle and the reserve fund both need to reflect that rather than an inland norm.

Building stockCoastal - salt exposure shortens the external fabric cycle

Coastal exposure is the thing that most often catches a Torquay block out, so the maintenance plan and the service charge budget are built around a shorter fabric cycle, with statutory compliance tracked alongside it. Leaseholders taking over management themselves do it through Right to Manage.
