The trustees have considered the risks to which the Trust is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the Trusys exposure to major risk. The most significant risks to The Trust will be The Trust being unable to meet its financial obligations in relation to the debt Snterest payments and major unplanned capital expenditure. These rlsks will be managed by ensuring The Trust has an adequate reserves policy, adequately insures the property purchased and has a rental agreement which has a three month notice period in place prior to the Purchase.
