To deliver a high level of customer service to your leaseholders and freeholders, it’s important to put the right team in place, both during the build and after completion of the development.

We have the resources to recruit estate management teams, concierge services, security staff, and caretakers, and will work with you to develop a security strategy that will protect your development.

Organising the utilities is the most common cause of delays in construction projects, which means homes are not supplied to the market as quickly as they should be and retail units are unable to open on time. In addition, there’s also a desire, and often a local authority requirement, for energy efficient developments. These can be challenging, and consideration must be given to renewable energy, solar panels and low carbon units early on in the process.

Because of our experience, the team at Edgefield can give you practical and professional advice around landlords’ metering, utility supplies and connection, energy efficient options, refuse collection and recycling.

From reviewing how the services charge is described in the lease agreements to helping ensure your development meets current health & safety and Fire Risk legislation: there are numerous legal requirements associated with property development that we are able to assist with.

We are able to give advice on the wording in your lease agreement regarding ground rent, service charge, leaseholder obligations and any conditions (like keeping pets). We will produce transparent and concise breakdowns of service charge expenditure for each unit, including a tenancy schedule apportioning costs relevant to each unit and proportional to their size. We also review and advise on all health and safety and fire safety matters for the building to ensure the development is compliant.
