Block Management
Hurford Salvi Carr are niche players in residential block management in central
London, specialising in the management of new build or newly refurbished residential
blocks.
Moving into a new flat inevitably has some teething problems, and our Property
Management division have considerable experience of liaising with developers,
contractors and purchasers to ensure that the settling in process is as trouble
free as possible. The Property Management division also provides project management
services for shell and core developments where lessees carry out their own fitting
out works.
Our block management service includes the collection of ground rents, service
charge management and accounting, and the preparation of medium term maintenance
programmes.
We encourage the formation of a recognised residents association in each block,
and aim to meet once or twice a year with each association or with residents generally.
The division aims to set an appropriate service charge level for each block and
ensure that this increases generally in line with inflation year by year, alongside
the collection of a suitable reserve fund for planned maintenance. In this way
lessees can be assured that there will be no surprises with unexpected demands
for additional sums needed to carry out unforeseen maintenance work.

Residential Letting Management
Our residential letting management service includes the collection of rents on
behalf of the landlord, ensuring that properties are kept in good condition, and
the handling of all requests from the tenant. As well as quarterly inspections,
the management service liases with our Letting offices to ensure that at the end
of each tenancy void periods are kept to a minimum.
Commercial Management
The Property Management division also manages a number of commercial investments,
and again will collect the rents on behalf of the landlord and carry out all routine
maintenance on the building. The division will also deal with all tenant queries
and ensure the building is kept in good condition.
Right to Manage
The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 brought in a new 'no fault' right
to manage for lessees in certain blocks of flats. Hurford Salvi Carr established
one of the first Right To Manage companies, and since then has helped a large
number of buildings to consider or implement the provisions of the Act.

Maintenance
We have our own direct labour force to carry out emergency works and ongoing routine
maintenance. This operates through the name of Ashby & Horner Limited, a company
that was originally established in the late 1690's in the City of London to carry
out maintenance, joinery and building work. It has an unbroken record of service
to clients in London since that time.
