Hurford Salvi Carr are niche players in residential block management in central London, specialising in the management of new build or newly refurbished residential blocks. Moving into a new flat inevitably has some teething problems, and our Property Management division have considerable experience of liaising with developers, contractors and purchasers to ensure that the settling in process is as trouble free as possible. The Property Management division also provides project management services for shell and core developments where lessees carry out their own fitting out works. Our block management service includes the collection of ground rents, service charge management and accounting, and the preparation of medium term maintenance programmes. We encourage the formation of a recognised residents association in each block, and aim to meet once or twice a year with each association or with residents generally. The division aims to set an appropriate service charge level for each block and ensure that this increases generally in line with inflation year by year, alongside the collection of a suitable reserve fund for planned maintenance. In this way lessees can be assured that there will be no surprises with unexpected demands for additional sums needed to carry out unforeseen maintenance work.
