Jeremy W Loudan formed Spencer Lewis Managing Agent in 1999 and established a name for good old-fashioned service for the residents in the properties managed by that firm.
Jeremy has now formed SL Property Consultants to further develop his style of service. A substantial number of his former clients continue with him in his new venture. Prior to setting up Spencer Lewis, Jeremy worked with one of the UK's leading firms of property consultants and led a department of 21 property managers and four team managers. He has also been involved in some of the most prestigious residential developments from Docklands to Central London.
Jeremy’s philosophy is to manage well and he intends that this newly formed firm advances this in the service to his clients. The indication of a good managing agent is one who listens to the clients, hears what is said, offers practical advice and takes prompt action.
A good managing agent communicates back to the client. We believe in getting on with the job of managing buildings whilst keeping the client fully informed through regular communication. We see the relationship between the client and ourselves as a team. We can issue regular newsletters, which can help reassure the residents that we are aware of the property issues that particularly concern them, such as keeping control of expenditure - and what is happening about them!
The idea is this simple: You select the level of service to suit your property's needs. We provide a complete range of services in menu form. So the package you specify can be anywhere between a straightforward accounting-only service to a full management package. We also provide other services linked to other professionals using their experience. All other service providers are checked by us and must meet our criteria for delivering a prompt service.
and see how we are progressing. You can also see if issues have been reported by other residents.
, helping us to get your feedback and get things done as quickly as we can.
Our management fees are charged based on the amount of time that we believe it takes to provide our best service to our clients. This will depend upon the level of service chosen from the menu and the size of the property concerned. Our fees exclude VAT.
SL Property Consultants' co-Director, Stephen Cooper BSc MRICS, can provide advice on planned maintenance, repairs and redecoration of your property. The surveyor's charge for this work is 10% plus VAT of the final contract price. In addition to this, we will charge 2% plus VAT to cover our administration costs, which include the serving of Landlord and Tenant Act Notices, dealing with any residents' correspondence, collecting the monies and settling the contractors' invoices. Using an independent surveyor, we can offer you both an excellent and flexible service. We will also guide you as to the correct level of reserve funds to cover such works.
