Property management is the day-to-day operations and care of commercial, industrial or residential property (or real estate) by a third-party contractor. The service provider’s main role is to manage routine tasks delegated to them by the owners, preserving the value of the properties while generating income. The property owner pays the property manager a fee or a percentage of the rent generated by the property.
Different property owners can benefit from property management services. For example, landlords with multiple rental properties in their portfolios or a lack of time or expertise to maintain their properties; owners who have an interest in the ownership and property earnings but make use of a property management service to administer the daily tasks; or commercial property owners who prefer a partner to source and manage tenants, leases and maintenance.
A sign that you’ve hired the right property professional for the job is that they belong to the appropriate professional bodies. Properly accredited firms will have come under great scrutiny before the relevant quality assurance was provided – this should give you peace of mind that your project is in safe hands. Kempton Carr Croft is accredited by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) – the UK’s leading professional body for the property industry.
Kempton Carr Croft’s Surveyors manage all manner of sites and buildings throughout London and the whole of the South East of England. The team works from offices in Basingstoke, Camberley, Gerrards Cross, Maidenhead, London, Reading, Staines and Windsor.
Our advice – when considering a property management company, looking for a local independent firm of Chartered Surveyors is a good starting point. You can use the RICS – find a surveyor tool for this. When you have made contact, ensure the firm can demonstrate experience within your locality, service required or with your specific property type.
A company familiar with your local area or the specific type of property you have, such as thatched or listed building, is likely to have worked on similar developments, which will have set a precedent, enabling the company to fast-track you through resolving challenges. The company will have strong connections with other property service providers, such as solicitors, insurers and lenders, and understand your property’s rental market and value.
Again, a professional with experience in specific property types will bring a razor-sharp understanding of legislation and potential issues relating to your project and how to develop, market, lease or maintain the property, depending on your requirements.
