After a meeting this week with a
group of resident directors I have to admit to being surprised on what an
impact Block Managers is having on the block management industry in Essex.
Incidentally we do not just cover Essex we can manage any development in a 40 miles radius including London.
I am now questioning whether it was such a good idea publishing not only our fee structure but how we go about reducing service charge costs. I guess that’s what being 100% transparent does for you, not only are our potential customers seeing this information so are our competitors.
Whatever way you look at it this is good news for all leaseholders who will hopefully benefit from reduced service charges and a better service whoever they appoint as their managing agent?
One thing I would like to ask of anyone considering either staying with their current agent or using another agent is why only now are they choosing to alter their managing remit and pricing structure and are they going to refund back to the development the previous higher priced management fees and other added extras they received when managing your development?
Anyone of them could have adopted our business principles years ago but chose not to, I wonder why?
I had adopted the slogan ‘Not all managing agents are the same!’ perhaps I need to reconsider changing that to ‘Changing the face of managing agents!’
