In the first week of taking over the management, the maintenance contractors attended the site and carried out a deep clean of the communal areas. We carry out block management in Tonbridge for several developments and have a list of approved maintenance contractors who can help. The property manager met with residents on site to further discuss their requirements with regards the property maintenance and management.

Completed the following emergency renovations works after completing a condition report :
Emergency telephones in 6 of the lifts were not working. Three of them were not working because there were no active telephone lines.
Several communal doors needed repairs in order to comply with fire regulations. Doors not closing properly, fire intumescent strips.
Door entry systems were not working. There were at least 20 issues with the door entry systems.
A small leak from one of the apartments into the Under croft car park which existed for over 9 months.
Lots of issues with lights not working or staying on all the time.
Even though we are appointed by the Landlord, we are engaging with the residents to identify their priorities and explain to them what we are doing on the development. The response from the residents has been very positive. We are collaborating to bring the development back up to the standard expected.

Residents Association - Assist leaseholders with formal application to the landlord for recognition of residents association.

Health & Safety Issues - Longstanding issues with a fire curtain that had not been addressed. Sourced contractor able to repair, obtained quotations and appointed to carry out works. Security was also reviewed to ensure unauthorised persons could not gain access to the block.

Financial Review & Planning - Quotations were obtained for various minor and major works around the development. A programme of works was agreed with the association and a forecast produced to ensure funding was in place to meet the costs as they became due.
