Looking After Your Estate and Management Of Common Areas

It is in the best interest of tenants, property management teams and landlords to ensure that estates are kept safe, secure and pleasant. But in the UK, optimising the use of a large residential or commercial estate and management of common areas is multi-faceted and can become a seemingly unending task. There are big potential returns to be uncovered for landlords and investors. But this also comes with a wide range of responsibilities, wide-ranging tasks and potential liability.

Effective estate management in its simplest form requires clear oversight of cleaning, repairs, grounds maintenance, parking and communal areas. This is achieved through everyday accounts management, leaseholder communications, contractor ticketing and financial reporting. Yet due to variations in all-important lease agreements, what is legally required in one block is not always applicable in another. With so many different areas to contend with, it is somewhat unsurprising that the service levels in the property management industry can vary so greatly.

Good block property management requires strong communication, administrative and organisational skills, as well as the capacity to negotiate in a friendly but firm way between interested parties. A strong contacts network, an understanding of the latest ever-changing legislation and years of experience as well as industry-specific accreditation are also of great benefit. But, we have found that using the right block property management software can be critical to financial success.
