Hebble Wharf Residents & Owners Association (“the Association”) exists to represent the interests of apartment owners and residents at Hebble Wharf.

To be most effective, a residents’ association needs to be formally recognised by their landlord – in this case, by the owners (or head leaseholders) of the Hebble Wharf block. By law, landlords must ‘recognise’ and consult with residents associations.  To that end, we have adopted a constitution that complies with the conditions required to achieve formal recognition status, as set out by the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA).

The conditions for formal recognition status were met in full before the sale of the headlease and freehold on Hebble Wharf in 2019, with both passing to G&O Investments Ltd. of Kingston, Surrey. Through their appointed Managing Agents (Plymouth Block Management Ltd) the new head leaseholder has confirmed their formal recognition of the Association.

With leases on 14 of the 58 apartments held by a third party, subsequent sale of those apartments is subject to different terms and conditions from the remaining 44.  The Association aims to represent and balance the interests of all apartment owners and residents.

Aims and Objectives

The aims and objectives of the Association are:

• To represent the interests of apartment owners living at Hebble Wharf or managing their apartment in the block;
• To preserve and improve amenities for residents and apartment owners ;
• To work in partnership with the Management Agent to achieve our aims, and
• To represent the interests of residents and owners in consultation with the Management Agent and other bodies.

The Association aims to be non-party political and non-sectarian.

Who can become a member of the Association?

Full voting membership of the Association is open to all apartment owners living at Hebble Wharf and to apartment owners (leaseholders and sub-leaseholders) who may live elsewhere. Full membership provides one vote per apartment in any decisions that may require a vote.

To apply for full membership please complete an on-line application form which will be forwarded to the Chair and Treasurer.

Owners of more than one apartment may hold a maximum of two votes, to ensure a balance of representation.  The Association wants to involve everyone in the block and will actively encourage people to give their views and get involved in meetings and events.

There is an annual subscription of £10 for voting membership, and membership will cease if the annual subscription remains unpaid after a reasonable period. Subscriptions will be renewable annually, following the AGM.

If you live at Hebble Wharf but are not an apartment owner, you are eligible to become an honorary member, for which there is no subscription payable. Honorary members are entitled to attend and speak at Association meetings, but do not have voting rights. We hope that many tenants will become honorary members and join us at our general meetings and any planned events.  Tenants wishing to join the Association can email us at hebblewharfresidents@gmail.com
