General comments by vendor

There are no specific school holiday priority shares. However, holiday weeks may be swapped by mutual consent and the syndicate is generally accommodating to any specific requests by shareholders. 

Remote changeovers are also possible, by mutual agreement between shareholders.

As a self-managed syndicate we set our own monthly maintenance charges based on planned maintenance works and mooring fees for the coming year. These are currently £120 per 1/10th share. For this 1/5th share that's £240/month

We have had two 1/10th shares in Middlewood for four years and have enjoyed our time in the syndicate. In this time we have been based at a number of marinas: Gayton, Alvechurch, Heritage (Congleton) and Overwater.
 
As a self-managed syndicate we meet annually to discuss all aspects of boat ownership, including mooring locations, monthly maintenance charges, planend maintenance, overall running costs etc. This is a good opportunity to meet and get to know your fellow shareholders.
 
We also have a WhatsApp group for on the move communication and to help keep everyone updated with any issues or changes on the boat. We ask that a holiday report is completed after each holiday so that we can keep track of any developing issues and ensure that we get them attended to in a timely manner.
 
Whilst the holiday weeks for the following season are booked towards the end of the preceding one there is an opportunity to swap weeks by mutual consent. 
 
WiFi is provided and is funded out of the monthly maintenance charges.

She was constructed in 2011 and is in very good order, having recently been blacked and had minor paintworks completed.
