Landlords

There is a constant deluge of laws being introduced to govern the relationship between landlords, tenants and the management of rented properties. We always ensure we are familiar with the ever-changing legal landscape to be able to advise you of your obligations.

Landlord and tenant relationships do not just rely on the law. With decades of experience, we ensure the best tenants are selected at the start of a tenancy, a comprehensive tenancy agreement is in place to protect you and your property, regular inspections are carried out to monitor the property and the latest technology is employed to ensure prompt payment of rents and availability of financial information at the touch of a button.

Flat block management

We have vast experience in providing facilities management to owner-occupiers of flats where there is a need for management of communal areas such as gardens, corridors, lifts, service charge collections etc.,

As an owner-occupier you do not just have to pay high costs for poor and expensive services from your landlord or current property management company. The law allows you to takeover the management of your homes and appoint managing agents of your choice.

We have a wealth of experience and a 100% record of success in guiding owners through the complex Right to Manage (RTM) legislation.

Our philosophy in managing blocks of flats for owner-occupiers is to provide a service tailored to the requirements of the owners within the constraints of the lease and legislation. Our job is to guide and carry out the owners wishes, not to dictate which contractors you must use, what work must be done, what the service charge level should be etc.,

Unlike many managing agents, we do not charge “commissions” on services, we agree a fixed management fee for our services, our duty is then to get the best value services for you without adding on hidden charges by taking commission for service providers, insurance premiums etc. In the vast majority of cases, where we are appointed as managers, we save money for the owners in areas such a insurance, major works etc. All these saving are passed back to you through your service charges and help to keep the cost of maintaining your homes as reasonable as possible.
