Hi....
Quick question about management company public liability when an area has been take in charge by the Council.
I currently own a house in a small development of 8 houses. There is a management company in place, and the Council has taken the area in charge. We are each charged €650/annum for what appears to be just public liability insurance and accounting. There the management company (made up largely of the developers/landlord owners of most of the other houses) carries out no other maintenace to the area. I have been carrying out all maintenance to green areas etc. with one other neighbour.
As the area is taken in charge by the local South Dublin Co. Council, and it is not a private estate, i.e. full right of way to the public, is public liability insurance meant to be picked up by the Council? Does anybody know exactly what the duties of the Council and the Management company would be in this regard?
As it's a public right of way, I don't understand why the property owners should be liable for any injuries to the public. We should surely be allowed to erect gates and restrict access?
Any thoughts appreciated?
