We have listed the different approaches to building management and maintenance to help you see what is needed to run your building or block smoothly and professionally.
So different approaches to building management and maintenance can be as follows; The landlord themselves could oversee the block and hire staff themselves, They could hire a block management company to handle all of the stress and sub contractors or they could just leave it to let god decide but I am sure it won’t be long before they are sued for breach of health, safety, fire, environmental health regulations. We can offer services that any freeholder or landlord may need by the one and only DMZ Group UK. If you simply looking for an agent to handle receiving the rental income from tenants then perhaps you should try a letting agent as they are more focused on individual properties.
Where to start
So let’s start with the outdoor maintenance or groundworks of your block. You will need to ensure pest control and waste management is at the top of your list so nine times out of ten you will have to pay for commercial 1100 litre bins with weekly collections to keep it tidy and clean and to avoid rats. Then the outside of the building is next on your list because if it looks grubby then chances are you won’t rent out any flats there or you will have complaints from the leaseholders. So window cleaning and graffiti removal and maybe some well placed cctv or security patrols every now and then would be a good idea. Then the weekly communal cleaning and ensuring all lights are working. Then every few years a fresh coat of paint would be a good idea.
