Estate management firm clinches major contract
A new contract from a large corporate freeholder will see Birmingham-based Principle Estate Management looking after a portfolio of properties stretching from Yorkshire to Hampshire.
Freehold Managers has appointed Principle to manage over 200 units on six sites in Leeds, Fareham, Mitcham and Southampton. Freehold Managers collects the ground rent and asset manages over 65,000 units across the country.
Brett Williams, managing director of Principle, said: “It is gratifying to have yet another national freeholder appoint us to look after part of their portfolio.
“Some of these properties need some extra advice and we are able to provide that as our directors are chartered surveyors and experienced property professionals and are actively involved in the management of our properties.
“We have a good panel of independent contractors across the country who are able to service reactive and planned maintenance requirements.
“We know that residents like to see this independence from a transparency point of view, and I know our team will do a good job for client and customer alike.”
Georgia O’Connor, associate director at Freehold Managers, said: “Like many other of the larger freeholders we continue to monitor the services provided by our managing agents to ensure our appointments complement the needs of our properties and the residents alike. Balancing the formalities with good customer engagement is key and we are confident Principle can meet the demand.”
Principle Estate Management was launched in 2018 by Brett Williams, the former head of residential property management at CPBigwood in Birmingham, and a past-chairman of ARMA.
