letters block management

Experienced, thorough and professional

Letters has wide experience of looking after the communal areas of blocks of flats and mixed use developments on behalf of freeholders, residents and occupiers.

We ensure all relevant fire, health and safety legislation is adhered to, and maintain the grounds and upkeep of all shared facilities. Our service is tailored to each client’s need, but examples include: general cleaning of communal areas; overseeing communal refuse; security; car parks and footpaths, and insurance.

We act on behalf of the freeholder or Residents’ Management Company to prepare annual budgets, collect service contributions and keep the book keeping and accounts up to date, in accordance with RICS rules and regulations.
