Financial Management
We handle all service charge demands, arrears recovery, and individual property records. Each year, we draw up a detailed budget to forecast expenditure, which is discussed and approved at the AGM.
If you are a self-run block looking to outsource your requirements, or simply looking to switch agents, consider using Hamiltons. We are an independent company based in Bristol with over 30 years of experience in bespoke block management.
We handle all service charge demands, arrears recovery, and individual property records. Each year, we draw up a detailed budget to forecast expenditure, which is discussed and approved at the AGM.
We coordinate all maintenance, from emergency repairs to planned contracts obtaining competitive quotes and serving necessary notices for major works. We also ensure the property is in top condition with the help of cleaning staff, gardeners, and window cleaners.
Safety is paramount. We organise regular fire alarm testing, monthly emergency light testing, annual extinguisher servicing, lift maintenance, and necessary asbestos or fire safety reports to keep your building compliant and safe.
All block meetings are held via Zoom, allowing owners to participate in the running of the block from anywhere in the world. We handle all notices, agendas, and minutes, and chair meetings to ensure professional, organised proceedings.
Every block we manage has its own dedicated bank account. We handle all setup and administration, and we actively manage your sinking fund to maximise interest, moving excess capital into high-interest accounts to help your funds grow securely.
We provide an out-of-hours care line for emergencies, with contact details displayed on-site. Residents also have a dedicated webpage to access budgets, meeting minutes, and to report maintenance issues directly.
