Tailored management plans 

As your local managing agents, we aim, year on year, to get the best contracted prices on window cleaning, gutter maintenance, landscaping and cleaning, without compromising on the standards that residents expect. We visit all sites on a regular basis to ensure that all tasks have been carried out to the highest standard. All of our maintenance contractors sign onsite time sheets that are available for all residents to see.

With 35 years of experience in the trade, we understand that leaseholders need different payment options in order to pay their service charges. We offer a standard range of options for payment, including by standing order, cheque or making payments online. We also offer tailored payment plans such as quarterly payments to suit the needs of leaseholders.

We cover the Shire Counties, including Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire. 

As property specialists, we  endeavour to set up payment plans on service charge debts and manage to get excellent results in-house; however, there are times where we have no alternative but to pass the debt to a debt recovery agent. We use a reputable and reliable organisation to recover debt on the estate's behalf.

The Shires Estate Management Ltd offers complete transparency in accounting, and each development has its own bank account, main account and service charge account that can be viewed by appointment. All of our estates have their accounts audited at year end by independent accountants. We will supply copies of bills, but we are obliged under the Commonhold & Leasehold Reform Act 2002 to charge for preparing such copies. All directors and freeholders will receive copies on completion and we always bring full sets of accounts with us to resident meetings for viewing.
