Regent Property assisted Laurie House with their Right To Manage process to enable them to take control of the building away from the freeholder and return the power to the property owners.

A formal RTM company was created and the residents now control the decisions for their own building.

Regent Property also covered all of the legal costs involved with this process and will be willing to do the same for other clients looking to initiate the RTM process

Plumbing Issues / Escape of Water - Several occurrences of major escape of water from mains cold water system. On review it was found that due to the main riser pipes being fitted with compression fittings, the pressure from the booster pumps kicking in was causing the joints to vibrate and eventually fail.
To remedy this, we arranged for an inverter pump set controller to maintain a constant pressure and replaced all compression fittings on the main risers with soldered fittings to prevent any further issue. Following completion of the works no further occurrences of escape of water.

Security - Due to vandalism, access control systems to the block had been damaged and were not functioning.
A review was undertaken with a specialist access control contractor, repairs were completed, and anti-vandal equipment was fitted to ensure security going forward.

Fire Equipment Repairs - The block was fitted with a sprinkler system for all flats in the top 3 floors of the building which was not operational.
A specialist contractor was appointed to air test the system before refilling. It was found that a section of pipe had been installed externally by the developers that had not been lagged. When the system was originally commissioned the pipes had frozen causing them to split.
Sections of pipe were replaced, correctly lagged and the system was recommissioned.

As managing agents, Red Rock was instructed by the residents Management Company to manage the block and assist with the catalogue of outstanding issues from the previous agent and the ongoing management of the building.

Red Rock made numerous savings on Service Charges in comparison to the previous agent which allowed further monies to be collected to the Reserve Fund.

Working with the resident directors, Red Rock agreed a specification for the decoration and this was carried out speedily and at an extremely reasonable cost, by liaising with many local contractors in the area that Red Rock had already built a rapport with working at other buildings in the vicinity.

The lighting was also changed to LED for a low cost, making a saving on the electricity consumption for the block year upon year, ultimately making a saving within the annual Service Charges.
