We charge a fixed fee per flat per year depending on the amount of work involved in managing your property. Our fees are totally transparent and we do not charge commission or a 'menu' of hidden fees.
The only items that we would typically charge for outside the basic lease management fees are:
• Major works over £5,000 including insurance claims.
• Accounting fees for annual accounts and submission to Companies House.
• Sales enquiries when a property is sold or re-mortgaged, although this is the liability of the individual leaseholder.
As each building has different requirements, we would ask to meet with you and visited your building in order to provide you with a comprehensive quotation.
