Property services
Group offerings
The Fexco Property Services group work closely together to provide a full range of services for the property sector, which, combined with our dedicated H&S department, ensures your property and investment are kept safe, clean and a nice place to live. Our property management brands; Crabtree PM Ltd, Bellharbour, Remus Management Ltd and Inspired Property Management offer a full range of services.
Residential Management
What is a Managing Agent?
Usually, when a development (or phase) is handed over from the developer a Resident Management Company (RMC) is appointed to take on the decision making for the residents. The Directors of this RMC then appoint a Managing Agent who will organise the works required to maintain the common parts of the development and manage the charges to ensure the budget is suitable to cover all costs. We are that Managing Agent, and we do not take the responsibilities of this role lightly. From introducing ourselves to residents and partnering with the RMC Directors, to Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and everything in between, our property teams like to think out of the box to provide that something extra.
Estate Management
To achieve the highest level of estate management our highly trained team ensures the maintenance and repairs of external areas such as green spaces, grounds maintenance, parking, and the general use of communal areas. With most estates being mixed-use all apartment blocks have scheduled cleaning and general maintenance, including redecoration of entrances and hallways and ensuring machinery and lifts have regular risk assessments. The safety of staff and residents is always high on the list, with H&S services provided by our Group support network.
Working with a range of property developers from a National House Builder to a private investment estate, we utilise our expert manpower, the latest online resources, and a trusted, certified, and insured network of contractors. We operate in line with and are regulated by the top organisations in the industry, including RICS and IRPM, and employ accredited residential managers with years of experience, which means we have the best teams using the correct internal procedures and controls to effectively manage any estate in London.
Each development that we are appointed is treated with an individual approach, targeting the needs of the client and those of the residents alike, but the collection of the estate service charge is of course a fundamental part of our role as Managing Agent. For a smooth transition, our onboarding team is highly experienced in welcoming new customers and setting their account onto our online Portal.
Block Management
Block management is often perceived to be a complex mix of property services that collectively ensure the building is safe to visit, work in, utilise and live in. We do all of that and more! Our experience in block management goes way beyond just looking after living spaces, we have built a knowledge bank that provides everything a well maintained block needs, from perfectly kept grounds to rooftop swimming pools and more. All of which we expertly maintain and financially manage, as well as making sure residents and staff are kept safe through rigorous Health & Safety practices.
What is a Lease?
We understand what our clients and residents are looking for in terms of maintaining the highest standards of living. Apartments are sold on a Leasehold tenure and come in many shapes, sizes, and locations, from new build blocks to converted warehouses, to commercial premises. When you purchase a leasehold apartment you're purchasing everything internal beyond your front door, including a balcony if you have one.
So who owns the building?
It's the freeholder that usually owns the whole building from top to bottom including the land the building stands on. The freeholder is usually the person responsible for the maintenance and any repair works required for the general upkeep of the building. These costs are recoverable through the service charges that the leaseholders pay annually.
Health & Safety
We have a dedicated in-house department with specialists in all aspects of H&S. We have achieved ISO 45001 British Safety Standard.
