Our management fee is always based
on a unit charge per flat rather than on a percentage of the total
service charge expenditure. In this way we can actively use our
contacts and experience to reduce service charge expenditure wherever
possible. Furthermore, residents know in advance, at the commencement
of each year, the level of management fees. An accountancy fee is
charged as part of the annual audit. This is to cover the costs
involved in liasing with the accountants, dealing with queries and
copying and sending out the accounts to all lessees. This is typically
around £240 plus VAT .per annum.
Our involvement in major refurbishment
works to a property is subject to a separate fee depending on
the
nature of the works and the overall cost. The cost is typically,
however, between 1.5% and 2.5%.
