The role will include:

• Working closely with the Regional Surveyor and ensuring all pre planned maintenance and major works are carried out to the properties within the Area 7 portfolio

• Issuing of consultation letters (Section 20) for major work projects and dealing with all correspondence/queries relating to this including responses to observations in a timely manner

• Have a good understanding of legislation and timescales relating to the consultation procedures/processes

• Arrange for charges to be added to Leaseholders accounts as per the terms of the Lease and then chase to ensure sufficient funds are available prior to the project commencing

• Manage/complete forms related to the major works

• Attend major work progress meetings on site and deal with any issues that may arise from those meetings

• Provide updates to Leaseholders and the Area Manager

• Oversee the Management Surveyors and assist and support them with any technical issues they may have

• Ensure the Management Surveyors are completing their monthly inspections and reports to a good standard and then report back to the Area Manager

• 1st approve orders/invoices for the Management Surveyors (this is how I would like it to work in the future as they would have a better understanding as to what is going on at the blocks day to day working closely with the Management Surveyors – currently done by Deputy/Area Manager)

This is the role in brief and will obviously include any other items that may arise but day to day the above is what the role currently involves.

The candidate will obviously need to drive too.

EXTRA INFO

The key role will be major works for this candidate. They must have a strong understanding of the consultation process as they will be responsible for issuing all the notices and responding to all observations within the correct timescales so previous experience will be necessary. They will work closely with the Regional Surveyor and the Area Manager to ensure all major work projects are completed as per the terms of the lease.

The four Management Surveyors manage 37 blocks between them which require monthly inspections and then there are various blocks, maisonettes, flats throughout the south east that are managed with half yearly or annual inspections.

The candidate that will take on this role will manage two or three of our larger blocks which are already agent managed and will then oversee the Management Surveyors ensuring they are completing their inspections and keeping the properties maintained to a high standard. They will also oversee the lettings team and our Commercial Manager and assist them where necessary.

The candidate will need to have been in a role very similar and have property management/surveying experience.

I hope this helps but if you need any further information, please let me know.
