ABOUT LES BLANCS BOIS
Les Blancs Bois is an independent living retirement estate, for those aged 55+, set among over four acres of beautiful grounds, with an estate management service, set in over 4 acres of gardens in the parish of Castel, a more rural part of the island, and just a mile away from the stunning beaches of Cobo Bay which boasts some of the most spectacular sunsets. Saumarez Park, Guernsey`s largest public park, is in walking distance, here you can relax and explore. Residents of Les Blancs Bois are also welcome to make use of the KGV Cricket Club facilities, only a minute`s walk from the estate.

As a fully managed estate, Les Blancs Bois is designed to emphasise the most enjoyable aspects of later life. Maintenance of the building exterior and the grounds are taken care of, leaving you free to make the most of your leisure time.

For residents with green fingers, allotments are available, and regular trips to town and the supermarkets are offered in the estate minibus. The on-site guest suite can be booked by residents for their families and friends, meaning that visitors can stay in their own accommodation.

There is an annual service charge that is paid quarterly in advance. It covers the cost of providing the services and amenities that make these estates such secure and convenient places to live, including the day-to-day care and maintenance of the gardens and buildings and the employment of the local estate managers. The service charge is shared equally between all the properties on an estate and includes an annual contribution towards the long-term maintenance reserve fund, which covers things like the cyclical external redecoration of the buildings and all other major works.

Life at Les Blancs Bois, is about independent living, so while every estate offers a 24-hour emergency response service they do not provide ongoing or hands on care. However, should a care package become necessary, the estate managers can help to arrange for one to be put in place.

All the properties have a personal emergency alarm system with a 24-hour monitoring service, and the estate managers will also respond as necessary.

As a homeowner you will be responsible for your annual service charge, Tax on Real Property and Parochial Rates, the insurance of personal possessions and looking after the interior of your home - although the estate managers can always put you in touch with local suppliers and trades people.

Well behaved pets are generally readily welcomed to the estates. However, each case is considered individually, and permission will need to be sought from the estate company Cognatum.

The service charge is based on an actual cost basis and covers, 24hr emergency call cover, general day to day problem support, regular removal of rubbish from rubbish collection areas, exterior window cleaning. Heating, cleaning, lighting and maintenance of all common hallways, landings, laundry room, library and manager`s office, cleaning and cost of running lifts, maintenance of the exterior of the buildings with the exception of conservatory maintenance if owned will be charged separately to owners and any repairs to apartment doors and windows will be the responsibility to the owners. Regular garden and landscaping works, maintenance and running of the 12 passenger minibus. The entire maintenance of the guest rooms except a small cleaning charge to those that use them. Insurance of the buildings, plants and certain thrid party risks. All office costs, like telephone, stationary and printing. Accounting costs, TRP and water rates for the entire development.
