Merritt have a team of dedicated staff with expertise in property management, customer service, major works, accounts and administration all purely focused on the portfolios of our freehold Investor clients.
In order to protect your investment financially and legally, our ‘Freehold Investor Team’:
• Provide a first point of contact for individual lessee enquiries
• Cover all the day-to-day management issues
• Ensure all areas of the lease are complied with
• Keep up to date with current property legislation
• Customise the level of communication you require with us
• Liaise directly with your chosen professionals (solicitors, brokers etc.) or offer to use those from our own pool of tried and tested companies
And in the vast majority of cases the lease allows for our fee to be recovered from the service charges – so the above is included at no cost to the freeholder.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
Merritt has been involved in new build developments through two decades. In recognition of the importance we place on this area of our business and the specialist nature of the management requirements, we have a specific department at Merritt for this type of development. We are very proud of our association with several of the UK’s leading property developers.
• The property development industry has seen many issues in the last few years and demand for land is high. It is therefore vital that the project runs on time and within budget to ensure maximum return on investment. By outsourcing the management of the development from the onset, both time and money are saved.
• Service charge levels are important for both the developer and the prospective purchasers. At Merritt, we work closely with developers to ensure the service charge is set at a level that they are happy to bring to market, while providing adequate funds to ensure quality management.
• Unlike existing developments, previous financial information is not available for new developments. With our extensive experience, we are able to advise developers of the predicted ongoing maintenance costs.
• There is absolutely no cost to the developer. We charge our management fee pro-rata, out of service charges.
• The developer doesn’t incur the costs and time associated with dealing with property management.
• There is one point of contact for any issues raised.
• Provides residents with continuity after the completion of the project.
• Protects the developer’s good reputation.
