Why is property maintenance and management for London homes so important? We can all agree that it is absolutely vital to regularly service your car, if you don’t then sooner or later (but probably sooner), it will simply grind to a halt in a cloud of smoke.
A similar principle applies to property, which is usually much more valuable than our cars. If our homes are not properly cared for and maintained they will break down which is not only inconvenient, but expensive!
This is particularly the case with properties like those of our clients – high-end, super prime homes with many high-tech moving parts. These houses come with state-of-the-art heating, light, sound or security systems to give them their super luxury title, yet if these fail, then the costs to replace them can be into the tens of thousands. Our London-based property management & maintenance services ensure our clients’ valuable properties are properly and professionally cared for.
For property owners with a number of homes, then our service is even more vital. Empty properties can deteriorate faster as they are not being kept at average temperatures, and without eyes on the ground, leaks or breakdowns can have a much more serious impact.
Even if household staff are in residence, often they will not have the necessary knowledge or contacts to identify and fix the issues. This can lead to botched repairs or unscrupulous tradespeople taking advantage.
When we take on the management and maintenance of a property, we conduct a comprehensive audit of the building to assess any areas that need attention and then implement a highly detailed, preventive home care and servicing schedule to predict or pre-empt any issues that might arise.
