Why choose a managing agent?
As a freeholder, right to manage (RTM), limited company or any other person responsible for the upkeep and management of a building, it can be a minefield of legislation in order to keep on top of everything. Service charges have to be collected and served correctly, non payment of service charges due from owners can get out of control if there are no set measures in place, works need to be arranged and inspected, insurance has to be organised, health and safety, fire risk and on it goes. It is vital to have someone experienced in control that has the facilities in place to handle all of the building requirements so that you don’t get yourself into trouble. As directors, you can be liable for anything that goes wrong or that is mis managed.
A property that is poorly managed can affect your enjoyment of your home and potentially its value should you decide to sell.
There are many agents out there promising one thing but providing something completely different and half the time you may not know, however, it will show up in accounting, complaints, lack of communication, arrears and complete disarray.
We have much experience with building management and have learnt a lot with how things should and shouldn’t be done, what works and what doesn’t. We’ve learnt these things and have created this company to set things straight and to not cut corners. We know the procedures and can take the stress off of your hands.

Our aim is client retention and we can’t achieve that without communication, honesty and proactiveness.
