Prospective Buyers

Oldefield Farms is a great place to live.  We encourage you to read the 'About Us' page for important details about our Planned Unit Development.  Enfield is a quiet town, located 30 minutes north of Hartford, right off I-91, exit 47E.  Our 105 unit community is owner-managed and well maintained.  We do our best to stay within our yearly operating budget and continue to be successful working within those limits.  Dogs are not permitted; Cats are allowed.  (Refer to Oldefield Farms Rules and Regulations, #9)
 
As a prospective buyer, in addition to the key points on the "About Us" page, you should review the documents available on this website.  Specific files include:
 
Once you make an offer, we encourage you to request a current year capital and operating budget.  If interested, you may also request from the seller, a copy of the minutes from the last annual meeting.  
 
At Closing
 
There is a lot to remember when you close.  Here are a few points to remember.  
 
  • Keys.  Ask for the keys.  This includes the front door, slider, garage door, and mailbox.  The mailbox is a commonly forgotten item and one the Association is asked frequently.  The Association does not have a spare, so make sure that the seller leaves their copy (ies).  
  • Coupon Books.  You can pay your monthly association fees using your bank's bill pay feature.  However, for those who still like to write checks, the Association provides coupon books.  Sellers are asked to leave their unused monthly fee coupon books for the new owner.  The Association does not keep extra copies.  Be sure to review all the Q&A on monthly fees in the FAQ.  (You will need to owner access to this website in order to access the FAQ and other pages.  Please register using the link in the upper right-hand corner of the site).  
  • Pass Codes, Garage Door Openers, and Manuals.  Ask for garage door openers and any passcodes that go with them.  Moreover, a few of the newer door locks and deadbolts have pass-codes, some of which are synced to security systems.  Make sure that you get those codes and all manuals from the seller. 
Moving In
 
Once you have moved in and met your neighbors, we expect that you will have questions.  If you cannot find the answers online, we welcome a phone call to the Hot Line 860.749.4242.  Please register on this website for access to owner-only information.   
 
Be sure to note the deadlines for monthly fees in the FAQ.  After you get settled, we hope you consider getting involved with the Residence Committee or at the very least, coming out when the weather is nice and introducing yourself to the walkers, gardeners, and bike riders that frequent the community.  Welcome to Oldefield Farms!  We are glad you are here!
