Many buildings in Bath are divided into apartments such as this 26 apartment building in central Bath which is under our management for many years. Often a management company is established to deal with routine arrangements and to hold the freehold of the building with each leaseholder owning a share in the company. The same applies to purpose-built blocks of apartments but on a larger scale; as well as the buildings, the grounds, drives, parks and garage blocks need to be managed effectively.

Management tasks can be onerous and time-consuming; the employment of an experienced agent such as Challenger International can be the most cost-efficient solution. We offer a full management service that includes the following:

• Regularly inspecting the building
• Cleaning and maintenance of common parts and hallways
• Obtaining competitive quotations for decorating and other works
• Arranging repairs to the fabric and stonework
• Maintaining the roofs, gullies and drainage systems
• Maintaining the grounds and gardens
• Arranging adequate buildings insurance cover at competitive rates
