Frequently Asked Questions
What types of commercial properties do you manage?
We manage a diverse portfolio across Plymouth and the South West, including multi-let office buildings, high-street retail units, retail parks, light industrial estates, warehouses, and mixed-use blocks (commercial ground floor with residential units above).
How do you handle service charge budgeting and reconciliation?
We prepare realistic, transparent service charge budgets ahead of the financial year, ensuring costs are fairly apportioned according to lease terms. All client funds are held in ring-fenced, dedicated client bank accounts, and we provide full year-end reconciliation accounts prepared by independent accountants.
What is Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM), and why do I need it?
PPM is a proactive strategy where we schedule regular inspections and maintenance for critical building systems (like lifts, HVAC, roofing, and fire alarms) before they break down. This extends the lifespan of your asset, keeps tenants happy, and avoids the massive, unexpected emergency costs that drain your yield.
How do you ensure my building remains legally compliant?
UK commercial property law is strict and constantly evolving. We handle all mandatory compliance areas, including:
- Fire Safety: Arranging regular Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs) and maintaining alarm systems.
- Health & Safety: Asbestos management, water hygiene (Legionella testing), and electrical safety testing (EICR).
- Environmental: Ensuring properties meet minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES) and hold valid Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).
What happens if a tenant falls behind on rent or breaches their lease?
We monitor rent payments strictly. If a tenant misses a deadline, we trigger a formalized arrears process immediately, operating firmly but professionally. If the issue persists, we work alongside legal experts to enforce lease covenants, handle debt recovery, or initiate forfeiture proceedings if necessary.
Whether you are looking to switch from your current provider or need management for a newly acquired commercial asset, Plymouth Block Management is ready to deliver.
