Free Service Charge Review
No obligation. No pressure to switch. Just a fresh, professional perspective on how your development is being managed.
THE QUESTION
Is Your Building Being Managed as Effectively as It Should Be?
At Boleyn Property Management, we believe leaseholders and directors should be able to understand where their service charge money is going, have confidence that their building is being properly maintained and know that they are receiving genuine value from their managing agent.
Your property is an important investment. How your development is managed can have a significant impact on your day-to-day experience, the condition of the building and, ultimately, its long-term desirability and value.
That's why we offer a FREE Service Charge & Building Management Review. We'll take an independent look at your current arrangements and highlight areas that may deserve a closer look with no obligation to appoint Boleyn afterwards.
PART ONE
Free Service Charge Review
Are You Getting Value From Your Service Charge?
Service charges naturally change over time as the needs and costs of a development change. But increasing expenditure should still be understandable, transparent and appropriately managed. As part of our free review, we'll look at your building's service charge budget and identify:
Costs that may warrant further investigation
Significant or unexplained increases in expenditure
Areas where greater financial transparency may be beneficial
Services that could potentially be procured more competitively
Opportunities to improve value without compromising service standards
Areas where longer-term planning could potentially reduce future costs
Depending on the information available, our review can consider:
Managing agent fees
Lift servicing and maintenance
Cleaning and grounds maintenance
Fire safety and health & safety services
Buildings insurance
General repairs and maintenance
Reserve fund and major works provisions
Utilities and communal electricity
Mechanical and electrical maintenance
Contractor costs and procurement
Staffing and concierge costs
It's About Value - Not Simply Cutting Costs
The objective isn't to find the cheapest contractor or reduce expenditure for the sake of it. Good block management means balancing cost, quality, compliance and the long-term needs of the building.
Our aim is to give directors and leaseholders a clearer understanding of whether their development appears to be receiving the right services at a fair and appropriate cost and highlight areas where further investigation or improvement may be worthwhile.
