Property Portfolio Management for Corporate Clients

Our Corporate service is very similar to that offered to our private clients.

Detailed Property Inspections

On appointment we carry out a detailed inspection of your properties with our professionally qualified Consultants to fully assess the condition of the building fabric, decorations, furnishings, fire and security installations. We present you with a detailed Report and Maintenance Plan highlighting any problems and making recommendations for improvements or repairs. We can then arrange for the approved works to be undertaken during void periods.

Sourcing/Appointing Household Staff

You may already have household staff such as cleaners, gardeners and window cleaners. If you haven’t, or are unhappy with the service you are getting, we will appoint fully vetted experienced staff on your behalf.

Regular Property Visits

On a day-to-day basis we take full responsibility for running your properties. This includes twice-weekly inspections to check maintenance and monitor cleaning/gardening standards. We will then report back to you as necessary, providing a summary on the actions taken during each visit, and detailing any recommendations for works or improvements that need to be carried out at the property.

Security

Security is a key feature of our service and that is why we have the security system fully checked and tested by our specialist Consultants. We then strongly recommend that any improvements and repairs be undertaken at the earliest opportunity. This will normally include connection of the system to Redcare, for central station monitoring.

There are likely to be occasions when one or more of your properties will remain empty for a period of time, when the security system is of particular importance. Our regular inspections ensure protection is maintained and gives the impression that the property is regularly in use.

Paying the Bills

We set up an individual client Bank Account that we use to pay all of the bills related to each of your properties. At the end of each quarter we will present you with a statement identifying the expenditure on each of the properties.

Employees moving in/out of the properties

We fully appreciate the potential difficulties with employees moving in and out of the properties and one of our most important roles is to make this as smooth as possible. In preparation for their arrival, we ensure that the property is fully cleaned, basic foodstuffs are purchased, the beds are aired and there are fresh flowers in the vases. Your employees can simply arrive at the property without having to worry about organising any of these mundane tasks beforehand. We will even greet your employees at the property to hand over keys and explain how everything works.

When your employees move on, we ensure that all the necessary steps are taken to prepare the property for the new arrivals, including taking care of the laundry, carrying out a deep clean, touching in the decorations and carrying out any repairs.

Secure Key Holders

Not only will we look after each of your properties, we also take care of your employees whilst they are in residence. If they have any problems with the property they only need call our number for an efficient one-stop service. We also act as secure key holders to allow access for deliveries and household staff.

Sentinel Concierge

We also offer an extensive Concierge service, which can be especially useful to your employees from overseas or elsewhere in the UK that are unaccustomed to life in London. We can assist with matters as diverse as booking a table in a top restaurant to advice on a local crèche!
