The building umbrella policy coverage, as we understand it, will build back the facility to its original specifications so long as they meet current code requirements. Once the building is built, the owner will be given a pre-determined amount to go into your space and fill it in with cabinets, flooring, appliances, bathrooms etc. This amount is likely far less than what the actual cost will be (because they will use the original spec of construction meaning possibly pricing for older style products such as laminate countertops, carpet flooring and pre fab showers for example.The owner should carry an HO6 policy to cover this gap should there be a loss.
Q: What are the capital reserves used for at the Anchorage Villas complex?
A: Every month, a portion of the fee you pay is set aside in a capital reserve fund. This fund is invested in secure accounts, with the intention of growing over time. The goal is to minimize the actual cost of ownership by using the funds to cover large capital projects, such as re-roofing, pavement for parking lots, building painting, and pool resurfacing, among others.

Taking a proactive approach with these measures is intended to save money for the ownership in the long run. The funds are set up to help the board avoid having to levy special assessments. However, these assessments may still be necessary at times to pay for certain projects.

These evaluations form the basis for the capital assessment portion of the monthly condo/regime fee.Q: Is there an ownership transfer fee for the Anchorage Villas to be paid to the Regime?

Hilton Head Transfer Fee Details
Around 30 years ago, Hilton Head Island established a land buying and parks reserve fund, which is financed by a transfer fee charged on every property sale that takes place on the island. This initiative has been very effective in acquiring properties that would have otherwise been developed, which could have led to increased traffic and congestion on the island. A significant portion of the land purchased has been designated as nature preserves, while the rest has been converted into the wonderful parks that we enjoy on the island today.
