BBBMLDevelopers / New Development Set Up
I can help you design the buildings to ensure they provide the features that are needed to ensure they are more desirable to purchasers.
Developers / New Development Set Up
- What do flat owners want?
- Which features will make one development stand out from another?
- How should service charge costs be apportioned between flats?
If you are a developer of a residential building or estate and want to sell the flats for the maximum price, you will want your development to be as attractive as possible to potential purchasers. This includes the apartments themselves as well as the communal spaces and facilities.
Knowing what apartment dwellers consider important, I can help you design the buildings to ensure they provide the features that are needed to ensure they are more desirable to purchasers and can justify a premium over nearby developments. This will include not only the layout of the flats themselves but also the space and facilities that are shared by all.
Architects, interior designers and solicitors all serve a purpose, but what you really need is someone who has experience not just of managing developments but also of paying for their upkeep.
My input could be invaluable.
A developer or building owner will also want to ensure that the leases or commonhold agreements include the important clauses, that the service charge set-up is correct and that the service charge allocation between units is fair.
For an estate consisting of more than one block, this may involve setting up a number of service charge schedules which can be daunting to many.
I can assist you in getting this right and therefore avoiding potential conflict in the future.
