What is estate management?

Estate management involves the management of a private housing estate or development on behalf of both the landlord and residents. The service is offered by estate management agents, sometimes referred to as estate management companies.

We can work independently for the landowner or the Residents Management Company (RMC) upon completion of the build and once transferred across to residential control.

Typical responsibilities can include management of boundaries, outside spaces, Public Open Spaces (POS), property maintenance, street lighting, roads (private not local authority), parking and any amenities within the property, under the control of the Management Company or landlord. From cleaning communal spaces to maintaining play areas and arranging the suitable insurances, an estate management agent can do it all.

Who is estate management for?

Estate management agents will be appointed by developers, landlords, landowners RMCs, and residents.

Red Brick Management offers estate management in Hertfordshire and works for the landowner, RMCs, and developers but also prioritises the needs of residents.

Our main role is to efficiently manage the estate on behalf of the property owner and provide a high standard of care to all residents.

Estate management is mainly for new or purpose-built estates but it’s possible to manage older, more established areas too. For example, an estate management company in Hertfordshire would manage any aspect of a development covered under the property Transfer.

The benefits of estate management

Developers don’t usually have the time or resources to manage a development once completed, which is where an estate management company comes in.

Residents also need a reliable company to manage outside spaces, roads, access, boundary disputes and general maintenance. That’s also where an estate management company has a role to play.

How to choose the best estate management companies in Hertfordshire

When choosing the best estate management company in Hertfordshire, you should consider some key questions such as…

• What services are included within your estate management?
• How many properties do you currently manage?
• How much direct experience do you have?
• Do you have a local presence?
• Do you have the skills and experience to manage disputes?
• Do you have sufficient resources to effectively manage my development?
• What insurance cover do you have?
• How are estate service charges collected?
• What are your fees?

If an estate management agent can answer those questions to your satisfaction, we would also recommend seeking referrals and feedback from both developers and residents.

Once you’re satisfied with this information, contact the managing agent directly to discuss your needs.
