Leasehold Property Management – The Secret To Successful Living

The article discusses the benefits of Leasehold Property Management and the difference it can make to your home life.

If you are the leaseholder of a residential property, then you will more than likely be concerned with how your building is being managed and who it is being managed by. There may be an existing management agreement in place, or you and your fellow leaseholders within the building or block may be looking to employ a Leasehold Property Management company. Leaseholders usually have a flat or apartment within a building with other leaseholders; there may be just two units or hundreds within the complex.

The benefits of using a Leasehold Property Management Company

A professional Leasehold Property Management Company will implement a sense of order to the planning and collection of the necessary service charges and at the same time reserve funds for both planned and unplanned urgent maintenance and repairs. They will also be responsible for taking any steps required to recover unpaid charges from leaseholders. A Leasehold Property Management Company will be responsible for keeping appropriate financial records that can be viewed by both the landlord and leaseholders.

Essential Maintenance, Ongoing Upkeep, Emergency Repairs

While the interior decoration and design of a property is entirely the responsibility of the leaseholder; there may be times when essential maintenance or emergency repairs are required to be carried out on the building. A Leasehold Property Management company will be responsible for carrying out regular inspections of the building and formulating a timetable for any redecoration and repairs required, as well as for supervising the work and bringing it in within an agreed and reasonable budget. It is their duty to keep the building in good repair.

Dotting the I’s and crossing the T's

A Leasehold Property Management company should be equipped to handle all of the mundane and time-consuming administration, accounts, insurance and management of the property. When you choose a Leasehold Property Management company to manage your leasehold property, you should ensure they are members of the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA). This will ensure that your managing agents will adhere to a strict code of conduct, one which is widely applied within the industry, offering you some security and peace of mind.
