Property and Estate Management Plans
Many multiple tenanted properties or estates have communal areas both within the properties and on adjacent land that are repaired and maintained by the Freehold Owner or the Superior Landlord. Where this is the case, the various Tenants leases will normally contain covenants requiring the Tenants to contribute towards the management and maintenance of the property or estate. As the Tenants fund these “service charge” works, it is important that the manager of the estate (Freeholder or Landlord) ensures that the service charge account is effectively managed and that the Tenants gain best value for money and that appropriate funds are held to permit the regular maintenance and other service charge works.
Barker Associates regularly prepare “planned maintenance programmes” for Landlords and their Managing Agents where the future repairs, maintenance and decoration obligations, etc., are identified over a three, five and ten year time frame (or in some circumstances longer). Our maintenance plans are based on detailed surveys of the properties and reviews of the service charge provisions. The plans can be structured to prioritise works to clients specific requirements. Our construction project teams can also specify, tender and administer the annual maintenance works in accordance with the plan as a secondary service.
