Kent Property Management
Specialist Block & Estate Management in Kent
Kent Property Management is based on the outskirts of the picturesque city of Canterbury. We are not just another letting agent offering residential block and estate management services as an extra add-on: we solely operate in this market.
We can offer unrivalled standard of customer service where we will regularly visit the site and personally check that services and works are being completed to the desired standard.
Our promise to you is that we will be the company you can depend upon on to manage your development efficiently and pro-actively with a personal hands on approach.
Kent Property Management have three core values that we work to:
- To provide a quality service that offers residents value for money.
- To be transparent and to provide honest communication with all parties
- Most importantly, to never forget we are looking after your home and your investment.
We know and use independent local contractors and specialist tradesmen. All contractors hold appropriate liability insurance and are expected to provide a reliable, prompt service where they produce quality work at competitive rates. Kent Property Management do not accept any rebates or commission as we feel this is clear conflict of interest.
Kent Property Management can help with future capital planning the right way. We will work with a local surveyor to carry out a condition survey of the property to plan for major works well in advance. Planning in advance means that if the lease allows, funds can be saved accordingly so that leaseholders are not provided with large unexpected demands.
Kent Property Management understand the importance of managing your money transparently and therefore all monies are held in an independent client account for each site. Through our computer systems we can produce itemised expenditure reports so that we can compare expenditure to budgeted figures. Our systems allows us to easily check arrears and these are promptly chased and if required action is taken through solicitors or debt recovery.
Kent Property Management follow the RICS code of practice and our property managers are TPI qualified so you can be assured to receive a professional standard of service.
