A national property organisation with a regional office in Croydon are looking for an experienced property manager to join their ever-growing organisation. The organisation has owned property in the UK for over a century, with residential properties across the UK. With excellent holiday benefits this and flexible working arrangements this could be an ideal position for someone living in the South London Area.
The key role will be major work for this candidate. They must have a strong understanding of the consultation process as they will be responsible for issuing all the notices and responding to all observations within the correct timescales so previous experience will be necessary. They will work closely with the Regional Surveyor and the Area Manager to ensure all major work projects are completed as per the terms of the lease.
The candidate will be based at Area 7 offices and will manage the Major Works for the Southeast of England so it will range from Clapham down to the south and east coast including Bognor Regis, Eastbourne, Margate etc.
The role will include:
- Working closely with the Regional Surveyor and ensuring all pre planned maintenance and major works are carried out to the properties within the Area 7 portfolio
- Issuing of consultation letters (Section 20) for major work projects and dealing with all correspondence/queries relating to this including responses to observations in a timely manner
- Have a good understanding of legislation and timescales relating to the consultation procedures/processes
- Arrange for charges to be added to Leaseholders accounts as per the terms of the Lease and then chase to ensure sufficient funds are available prior to the project commencing
- Manage/complete forms related to the major works
- Attend major work progress meetings on site and deal with any issues that may arise from those meetings
- Provide updates to Leaseholders and the Area Manager
- Oversee the Management Surveyors and assist and support them with any technical issues they may have
- Ensure the Management Surveyors are completing their monthly inspections and reports to a good standard and then report back to the Area Manager
- 1st approve orders/invoices for the Management Surveyors (this is how I would like it to work in the future as they would have a better understanding as to what is going on at the blocks day to day working closely with the Management Surveyors - currently done by Deputy/Area Manager)
- This is the role in brief and will obviously include any other items that may arise but day to day the above is what the role currently involves.
- The candidate will need to drive too.
