Service Charges

Our financial collection facility also assists building and estate owners in demanding and collecting service charges from occupiers required to fund the running costs of a property or estate.

Our clients instruct us to act on their behalf to manage the service and estate management charges incurred by occupiers that fund the costs of running a building or estate they own. For clients utilising this service, we take the responsibility for demanding, chasing and collecting all services and estate charges relating to a property. We organise contractors to provide the necessary services, settle their invoices and provide annual reconciled statements that record the monies collected, and the expenditure and performance against the budget.

Our approach to service charge instructions sets us apart from our competitors as our experienced team have worked on numerous projects over the years and have a thorough understanding of what is required to effectively run a building. Basically, we ensure the money sourced from tenants through service and management charges won’t be used unnecessarily.

Our property management services link seamlessly with our Landlord & Tenant advice regarding lease renewals, rent reviews and dilapidations.
