Property Management
Carter Jonas has an established and enviable reputation in commercial property management, with strategically located and experienced property management teams providing a proactive and hands-on service to clients across the UK.
Our multi-disciplined teams are able to provide a wide range of property management advice to ensure that our clients’ property is managed for optimum performance.
Our management service covers a wide range of properties, including lock-up shops, retail parades, restaurants, warehouse/industrial units and estates, moorings, wharfs, piers, telecom base station sites, offices (single-let and multi-occupied) right through to residential units, within individual blocks or within a commercial scheme.
We recognise that tenants should be carefully looked after, so that where ever possible they are – and remain – satisfied tenants, willing to pay their rent. The provision of efficient facilities and estate management services is essential for maintaining contented tenants, with timely communication ensuring a good landlord and tenant relationship is maintained.
At Carter Jonas, we have in-house surveyors who specialise in the service charge functions for properties, which are often a contentious issue for both landlords and tenants. Such specialists are essential when dealing with service charges, due to complex and onerous lease obligations as well as complicated legislation.
Mixed-use schemes (commercial and residential) can be particularly challenging as it is essential that certain procedures and consultations are carried out to enable full expenditure recovery from residential tenants. In this respect, expert advice is invaluable.
Our standard operating procedures also fully adhere to the RICS Code of Best Practice of Service Charges in Commercial Property and the RICS Service Charge Residential Management Code.
