Who we help…

Resident Management Companies (RMCs)

Because we understand the potential difficulties, pitfalls and responsibilities of running a limited company, we can relieve you of concerns such as these:

  • Running a resident management company is rarely as straightforward as it seems. There are compromises to be made, cash flow to be managed, forward planning, accounting, ever-increasing legislation and all sorts of day-to-day issues that arise needing your time and attention.

  • We’ll take the strain – working pro-actively with resident directors of management companies and carrying out a full suite of outsourced services on behalf of the RMC. We also provide advice and assistance so that director duties can be carried out competently.

Directors

If you’re a Director of an RMC we can help you with the duties involved in this role, and make life easier for you. Get in touch to find out more.

Freeholders & asset managers

As investors, you’ll require the expertise of a professional managing agent who can relieve the burden of day-to-day management and offer up-to-date advice on the requirements of ever-increasing statutory legislation.

We do this for a range of freehold clients, and few agents can match our reach, local expertise, and responsiveness. Our network of teams across the country is a big advantage as we are where your investments are, no matter how small.

Developers

We work with some of the top developers in the UK and advise on everything from small block conversions through to 1,500+ unit private estates.

Many of our clients have worked with us for over 10 years or have come to us through personal recommendations. We recognise that your customers are our customers and your reputation requires ongoing enhancement long after you have left the site. Your reputation is our business and we never forget this.
