1. You recently asked for an estimate of BC's contribution to ground rent and service charges.
2. We estimate that the total costs per annum for Consulate-General and British Council will be as follows:-
Ground Rent Air Conditioning Utilities
•
•
Maintenance
•
•
•
£138,000 £260,000
£ 28,000
£ 30,000
3.
£356,000
The current total gross floor areas of the buildings are 16,642m2 and of this the British Council will occupy 6,142m2 which is 37% of the whole. It therefore seems appropriate and fair for the British Council to contribute the above percentage for the ground rent and services charges; based on the above figures this amounts to £131, 720 per annum.
