Location: A development of 50 flats built in the late 1960’s and located near the University of Reading.

For many years this development relied upon the services of one of its lessees to provide the Managing Agent role for the estate. This included issuing service charges, collecting service charge monies, running the company administration, managing the extensive grounds in concert with the gardeners and generally ensuring the maintenance of the estate was kept in good order.

Upon the sad death of this resident there was quickly a realisation by the rest of the residents as to how much was involved in running the estate.

To complicate matters further it was discovered that the cladding around the building had hidden a deterioration of the timbers beneath and specialist help was urgently required.

Cleaver Property Management were interviewed and it was soon agreed that they could provide the necessary administrative and management skills needed to deal both with the cladding issue and the day to day running of the estate.

The cladding has now been successfully replaced, all the flat roofs refurbished and communal SKY systems installed to all flats. Cyclical maintenance has been set up along side a rolling 5 year plan; all of which has ensured that this development is now fully restored to its original glory.
