Managing a building in Essex
Essex has a wide mix of flatted buildings: developments in and around the commuter towns on the lines into London, older blocks and conversions in the town centres, and buildings on the coast where wind and salt air take their toll on roofs, windows and external decoration.
Planning for the building's condition
Buildings exposed to the weather need regular inspection and a realistic plan for external repairs and redecoration. We build that into the budget and the reserve fund, so major works don't arrive as a surprise. Any works that need Section 20 consultation are run properly and recorded in the portal.
Taking control of management
If you're a leaseholder unhappy with how your building is managed, Right to Manage may let you take over management without buying the freehold. Read RTM vs RMC to understand the options.
How we manage your building
Service charges, insurance coordination, repairs and maintenance, compliance and regular updates, with directors and residents able to see where things stand in the Harrison Services Portal.
