Looking to change Managing Agent? We’re here to help. We’ve put together a list of frequently asked questions to help make changing agents a stress-free process.
Changing managing agents should be a very straightforward process.
We will open a dedicated bank account for your block. This will hold the service charge and the reserve fund if you require one. The reserve fund will be ring-fenced. A copy of the audited accounts is sent out yearly to all owners, to ensure you’re always aware of what’s being spent and what’s being saved.
We will deduct our fee from the service charge annually by prior arrangement at an agreed time of year. Ideally, we like residents to pay their service charge annually or six-monthly to ensure there are enough funds to run the block efficiently throughout the year.
We have a thorough and robust credit control procedure to ensure service charges are paid promptly. If service charges are left unpaid for a set period of time, we will pass the file to a solicitor to pursue payment.
We generally carry out quarterly or half-yearly block inspections depending on your requirements. We will also attend as and when needed, if an issue arises or if you want us to look at something in particular.
We have a wide range of reliable and fairly priced contractors that attend to the general day-to-day maintenance of our blocks, including:

We aim to respond to queries as soon as possible. You should receive a reply to any emailed correspondence within 24 working hours, but usually sooner.
