If your present Managing Agent is one of the ‘usual suspects’, a national company with high street offices, or an unregulated non-specialist manager, you are probably paying a lot more for management than you would with Prime Estate Management. Here are 12 reasons why PEM may be the best choice for management of your block of flats.
- Is your managing agent affiliated to either The Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA) or the Association of Retirement Home Managers (ARHM)?
- Does your managing agent have a local representative and office?
- Does your managing agent provide a service tailored to your needs?
- Does your managing agent respond to queries promptly?
- Are your Service Charge Budgets realistic?
- Do you know what you are paying for?
- Does your managing agent liaise with the directors of the management committee when formulating the budget?
- Does your managing agent organise repairs in a timely and cost effective manner?
- Does your managing agent carry out regular site inspections?
- Does your managing agent attend annual general meetings or extra ordinary general meetings?
- Does your managing agent pay contractors/utility companies on time?
- Do you and your fellow leaseholders receive the annual accounts on time?
