Derbyniodd yr ymarfer dros 600 o ymatebion, yn bennaf gan breswylwyr sy'n talu ffioedd ystadau, ond hefyd gan sefydliadau ac unigolion sy'n ymwneud â'u sefydlu. Roedd y rheini’n cynnwys datblygwyr, awdurdodau lleol, Landlordiaid Cymdeithasol Cofrestredig, cwmnïau rheoli a chyfreithwyr eiddo. Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn i bob ymatebydd am roi o’i amser i ddarparu gwybodaeth a thystiolaeth sydd wedi cryfhau ein dealltwriaeth o'r taliadau hyn – sy’n cynnwys ymhlith materion eraill, bod codi ffioedd yn arfer sydd wedi dod yn fwy cyffredin, y costau cyfartalog, y math o ardaloedd y codir ffioeddd amdanynt, a'r rhesymau dros godi ffioedd.
The exercise received in excess of 600 responses, mainly from residents subject to estate charges, but also from organisations and individuals involved in the their set up; this included developers, local authorities, Registered Social Landlords, management companies and property lawyers. I am very grateful for the time that each respondent took to provide information and evidence which has greatly boosted our understanding of these charges including, among other issues, their increasing prevalence, average costs, the type of areas they provide for, and the reasons they are used.
