We will manage your property and its tenants on a day-to-day basis to ensure it is maximised to its full potential, whilst implementing your objectives for the building. We can utilise our existing service providers to ensure a professional, first rate service, or we can use your preferred contractors if you wish.

 

We believe in a hands on approach to manage the property and seek ways in which to add value. The protection of your interest is paramount whilst we wish to ensure tenant satisfaction at the property.

 

Service Charge Review

Whether you are paying a service charge and want to check your proportion and amounts you are being charged, or if you want to ensure you are recovering everything you are able, we can advise.

 

Rent Reviews

Rent reviews are a mechanism under a lease to bring the rent in line with the current market, or other assumption as per the lease. Should you need assistance in negotiating your review with the other party we can assist, utilising our detailed knowledge of the current market trends and rental values. Should the matter need to be taken to third party we can present your case.

 

Lease Renewal

Early involvement with a Chartered Surveyor, or your solicitor, is necessary for any lease expiry as there may be strict timescale which need to be adhered.

If you wish to negotiate a new lease we can act on your behalf to negotiate the best terms commercially. We can also liaise with your solicitor through to completion of the lease.

 

Lease Restructure

Should your requirements change during the term of your lease we would be happy to negotiate with the other party to incorporate your amendments and add a commercial-input into the process. Examples include additional breaks, more flexible alienation provisions so you can assign or sublet, amend the service charge, or even simply surrender and grant a new lease.

 

We will follow this process through to completion, working with your solicitor.

Advice on Breaks

If you wish to exercise your break we can advise on the best way to manage this, and lead you through the process, to achieve optimal results.

If you don't wish to exercise your break you may be able to secure capital from the landlord, again we can advise and assist.
