Hamilton King Management Limited

Hamilton King Management Limited has a 21-year history of providing property management solutions and has experience of the full range of issues that can arise with apartment developments, from modern, purpose-built blocks of flats through to period conversions. The company aims to deliver value for money for its clients, along with a professional and efficient management service. A useful way of exploring what the company has to offer is by taking a closer look at the services provided by its estates office based in Enfield and its Altrincham-based accounts office.

The accounts office

As the company has recently commented on the Hamilton King Management Limited Twitter feed, setting a yearly maintenance charge requires a certain level of insight and experience, involving specialist analysis of what issues are likely to arise over the coming year. The Altrincham accounts office deals with estimating, calculating and then collecting this charge – as well as the ground rent applicable to the properties it manages. This office also ensures contractor invoices are processed and paid. A further role for this arm of the company is in dealing with consents to alter individual flats and in dealing with applications to extend leases.

The estates office

Where a resident of one of the many properties managed by Hamilton King has a problem, the company’s estates office is usually the first point of contact. Lessees can report a fault or repair concerning the property’s common areas by telephoning or emailing the estates office. There is also a special facility for reporting out of hours emergency repairs.

The estates office processes these repair and maintenance requests and instructs suitable contractors – whilst always seeking to ensure that the firms instructed are able to deliver best value. This includes those situations where contractors need to be engaged to ensure compliance with requirements in the lease relating to periodic redecoration of the property. This office also generates notifications to lessees and initiates insurance claims relating to the structure of the buildings it manages. It is also from here that ongoing inspection programmes are managed.
