Rent collection
The Chivers Commercial team is dedicated to ensuring that rent is collected on time and is processed and sent to clients as soon as possible. When occasionally rent is late or a tenant falls into arrears, Chivers Commercial will liaise with both tenant and Landlord to try and find a solution. Rent collected on behalf of Landlord’s is dealt with through specialist Property Management Software and dedicated Client bank accounts with every transaction recorded and monitored. Annual independent audits are undertaken and management accounts are dealt with in full compliance with RICS requirements. The client is kept up to date with developments at every step of the process and provided with regular statements which can also be used for taxation and business accounting purposes.Service charge administration
The asset management team has an extensive management portfolio covering most types of commercial property, many of which are multi-ocupied buildings. We offer a full service charge facility including collection, contractor instruction and payment, services apportionment and recharge, insurance premium collection and day-to-day issues which arise with tenants and or the buildings themselves.
Landlord and Tenant relations
The Chivers Commercial property asset management team has a very diverse range of property under management but whatever the age, style or use of the building, the most effective way to enhance the property asset is by maintaining fully let properties and this is best done by building good relationships between landlords and their tenants. Chivers Commercial strive to find solutions to problems which arise and take the role of facilitator in bridging differences of opinion or interpretation. Tenants who have confidence in their queries or complaints not only being listened to but taken seriously are more inclined to be flexible and to remain as tenants on a long term basis. For the landlord this provides continuity of occupation and therefore a more secure income and also saves money by not having to constantly re-let property and pick up void costs such as increased insurance, security and void rates whilst property is vacant.
Maximising asset potential
The Chivers Commercial property asset management team provides in depth advice on how individual property can be improved, be that physical adjustments, tenant mix or use changes to maximize the rental income both in the short and longer term. The better tenant covenant that can be achieved, even in secondary property, the better the yield the property will attract and therefore the higher potential value the asset can achieve. With the diverse nature of the portfolio under our management we are able to give advice across a wide range of possible improvements to all landlords, whatever the size of the portfolio.
