About Us
We are a small specialist residential block management company having both qualified and experienced staff operating from our office in Worthing from which all services including accounts matters are dealt with.
Robert Fryzer is a qualified chartered surveyor (MIRCS) and a member of The Institute of Property Managers (MIRPM). He has worked in Sussex since 1984 and has specialised in residential block management in the Brighton, Hove, Worthing, and surrounding areas since 1995. Our small team of managers and support staff are all locally based and have good experience in all aspects of property management.
We have a dedicated computer property management system in place to allow the effective management and control of all aspects relating to service charge and ground rent collection and prompt payment of contractors. We operate dedicated individual property client accounts for all blocks under our management.
We have access to good local trades in order to undertake routine maintenance and repair works, and to a number of trusted building contractors for larger repair and redecoration projects. We also have good links with a number of trades including cleaning, gardening, lift maintenance, entryphone and fire precaution companies required at many of the properties under management.
We are contactable during office hours via telephone and we do not have separate voicemail accounts or queuing systems in operation!
Our portfolio is such that it allows us to devote as much time as is required to all aspects of the management of properties in order to ensure these run smoothly and without difficulty and to the benefit of both the client and the buildings themselves.
If you would like a quote for new management please also contact us. Our fee is normally based on a price per unit and is an agreed all inclusive fee covering all aspects of the general management of the buildings with no hidden additional charges such as for issuing separate letters, site visits, attendance at meetings etc. Major works projects however would carry additional costs by prior agreement/arrangement.
