Common Repairs
We coordinate prompt repairs for shared property elements including roofs, gutters, and main water pipes. Our process ensures emergency repairs are completed within 24 hours while major works follow formal approval procedures. All contractors operate independently, with costs transparently divided among property owners according to agreed percentages.
Contractor Management
Our vetted network of contractors delivers quality repairs at competitive rates. We manage all aspects from initial instruction to final payment, maintaining strict separation between contractor selection and our management fees. Owners may request specific contractors when required, subject to approval.
Insurance Arrangement
We maintain comprehensive insurance policies meeting Deed of Conditions requirements, with annual revaluations as needed. Policy details remain accessible online, and individual schedules are provided upon request. Our FCA-regulated operations ensure compliance with all insurance documentation requirements.
Property Inspections
Annual visual inspections cover accessible areas, with gutter cleaning and roof checks included as standard. Minor repairs may be addressed immediately, while major issues require formal owner approval. Full property surveys require majority owner agreement and additional funding.
Financial Management
Quarterly invoicing covers management fees and shared repair costs, with payment plans available. We handle all contractor payments upfront, maintaining clear records accessible to owners. Debt recovery procedures follow formal timelines with appropriate notice periods for outstanding balances.
