This is a helpful one-stop guide to managing property interests, written by residential and commercial Property Manager Andrew Duncan.
Managing your property interests correctly will help:
• Property owners and landlords effectively manage their properties to enjoy greater returns, valuations and reduced costs.
• Property occupiers and tenants slash costs to get the best value
• Property investors implement essential property asset management tips to improve their portfolio’s performance, increase returns and prepare for transactions and re-financing
• Property management advisors - including managing agents, solicitors, and surveyors - learning the tricks of the trade to effectively ensure compliance and deal with any arising issues
Other books focus on specific aspects of property, for example property investment, landlords duties, or building condition. Deliberately designed as an overview on the subject to include everything, this Property Management Guide helps you to easily navigate through the world of property management to reach your goals and end property-management confusion.
With over 15 years of experience in managing residential and commercial properties in the UK, the author helps map the route for all interests. There is something in this guide for all interests, whether they’re seasoned professionals needing fresh angles, or new novices wanting to understand the basics.
The information is unpacked through four different perspectives: the actual property, the people involved, the relevant payments, and the necessary paperwork. The guide is then broken down into 53 core principles to explain the issues involved and provides key points and summaries, for example:
• Clarifying what rules and regulations surround property maintenance and services, from fire compliance to building control
• Changing your tact to either receive or pay the best rent without nasty arrears and further action
• Challanging what leases can and can't be allowed, and how to treat them ending or being renenwed
• Cleaning-up issues from nagging landlords and tenants, and making sense of what other property advisors are saying
• Considering how service charges should be properly set-up and operated
Landlords, property investors, and tenants are also offered advice on how they can further research any relevant subjects. In addition there are Top Tips to offer further advice and helpful pointers.
Let this clear and concise Property Management Guide steer you through the complex world of property management to help you to easily accomplish your goals of owning or occupying property.
