Residential Block Management - Enfield
AEM Properties offer a Block Management service for residential flats in Enfield, and parts of Hertforshire/Essex. As with all our services we can tailor the solution to meet your needs.
Collection of Service Charges
Service charges may be paid directly into our client bank account, sent by cheque or paid in person at our office in Enfield. We liaise with the lessees to chase payments and issue all reminder and legal correspondence at the relevant stages on behalf of the company. Legal action may be pursued where a lessee defaults and again we will guide the company's directors at every step of the process.
Buildings Insurance
One of the main purposes of service charge funds is to cover Buildings Insurance for each block that is managed. Policies can cover damage to fixtures and fittings in the event of fire, flood, burglary etc. Buildings insurance is an essential prerequisite of most homeowner mortgages and managed centrally brings benefits in reduced cost and administration.
Property Maintenance & Repairs
Whether it needs a coat of paint, structural repair, plumbing, electrical, roofing, drainage or specialist advice in respect of communal areas - we can help. We project manage any major works and co-ordinate all contractors.
Cleaning
A regular cleaning routine (weekly or fortnightly) is usually enough to keep communal hallways at their best. This not only ensures the comfort and safety of all residents but may also help to prevent larger maintenance work.
Gardening & Landscaping
Routine gardening involves weeding, raking, leaf clearance, mowing the lawns and sweeping. Enfield has some of the finest green belt in London and being part of the Lea Valley can be prone to subsidence - we can arrange tree surgeons, surveyors and other specialists on ad hoc basis to advise and help maintain landscaped areas.
Company Secretarial & Accounts
Our office provides company secretarial services and support for residential management companies and directors. Whether filing official forms at Companies House or arranging audit of accounts we have many years experience and offer strong administration support.
Budgets & Expenditure
We assist the directors in preparing budgets with available and projected capital and cashflows from service charges, and can always negotiate prices on your behalf with suppliers to ensure costs are controlled whilst standards are maintained.
AGMs and Director's Meetings
Our staff have experience in arranging, attending and running Annual General Meetings and can attend director's meetings on request. Meeting notes will be taken and circulated. We are happy to provide advice and guidance to residents at these sessions and answer any questions about management or proposed works.
Safety & Security
From installing a door entry phone system or parking barrier, to arranging a clamping scheme, to managing the issue and replacement of keys for communal entrances we have preferred contractors with whom we work very closely to give you as fast and efficient a service as possible.
Signage can be supplied and fitted regarding non-smoking areas, refuse collection, parking restrictions or use of communal gardens.
We also arrange routine, Health and Safety, Asbestos, Water, Electrical and Gas Safety Inspections as necessary to ensure all communal parts are fully compliant with necessary UK Health and Safety Regulations.
