Property Solutions launches new service charge audit product
27.11.09
Property Solutions are proud to introduce a new service charge audit product this winter.
April 2007 brought the introduction of the RICS Code of Compliance at a time when service charges were becoming the next hot issue. This stance hasn’t changed, despite evidence of compliance to this new code. Service charges continue to be the principle cause of dissatisfaction amongst tenants’ (Occupier Satisfaction Index 2009) and with slow speed of compliance and clear evidence of poor performance in relation to the code, it is easy to see why.
When dealing with service charges, occupiers need to see certain standards fulfilled:
- a clear need for independent benchmarking
- transparency in how costs have been allocated; good, accurate, timely accounts
- a service that is not only efficient, but also cost effective, leading to greater transparency
- a professional and customer focused delivery
- service charge audits
As this is such a key issue in moving the industry forward and achieving these standards, Property Solutions are proud to present a new service charge audit product introducing it this winter. This product will focus in on four significant criteria:
- Financial compliance
- Lease compliance
- Service charge Code compliance
- Value for money
For more information on this exciting new product, please download the PDF brochure at the bottom of the page. Alternatively call us on 01454 332211 and we will be happy to organise a time to meet and discuss how PSL can help your business.
