Property & Accounts Management

Get in touch
Our Property Managers will liaise with Chairmen, Directors and Leaseholders about the levels of service we provide, to ensure that it's kept to a high-quality standard.

Working alongside an Accounts Manager, a Property Manager will actively assist customers with the preparation of service charge budgets and year-end processes. The team will work together to process and approve all payments, manage cash on behalf of the customer, and provide regular management reports; including debtor reports and budget expenditure reports, advising of any variances.

Part of a Property Manager’s role is also to understand Property Management laws and regulations, so that you don’t have to. They are there to assist customers with their obligations under any lease or covenant, and in ensuring compliance on behalf of the Management Company. 

Most importantly, they are there to answer your day-to-day queries, and ensure the communal areas of your property are well kept and looked after. This is achieved via the various services listed below.

Site Visits

Get in touch
Cleaver Property Management is aware of the importance of carrying out periodic site visits, which is why they form an important part of our Block Management service.
 
As part of a site visit, your Property Manager will check for any maintenance issues that need addressing, and produce a report to document these items. They will also ensure that regular contracted works are being carried out to a high standard, and that residents are doing their part in the upkeep of the property.
 
Our Property Managers are more than happy to meet with Directors upon request. If you wish to arrange a meeting either on-site or at our Wokingham office, please contact your Property Manager to discuss.

Risk Management

Risk Management

Get in touch
Residential blocks require a number of Risk Assessments, including Asbestos Management Surveys, Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), Reinstatement Cost Assessments (or Building Insurance Valuations) and Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs). Our Risk Management facility is provided via Cleaver Property Services Ltd, to ensure that the properties we manage remain compliant.

In line with recommended time frames, Directors will be informed that an assessment is due and provided a quotation. Upon approval, Cleaver Property Services Ltd will begin the process of organising a qualified contractor to carry out the assessment. A report will be provided on completion and your Property Manager will be on hand to answer any questions.

As part of our Block Management service, we will keep up-to-date with industry regulations and recommended frequencies for assessment. The current timeframes we work on are five years for EICRs, three years for Reinstatement Cost Assessments, and two years for FRAs. Asbestos Surveys are performed on a case-by-case recommendation.
