Development Consultancy

Utilising experience gained through its operation of over 40 years, Ashville provides a successful Property Management Consultancy Service to a number of Client’s. Acting on behalf of investors, architects, engineers and other property professionals Ashville is able to provide strategic consultancy advice to assist client’s in their new build / refurbishment, commercial and residential projects.

As commercial property managers we have extensive experience of controlling buildings and are keen to ensure that the design of any project reflects the future management from a practical viewpoint. This is particularly important in terms of providing a building that is cost effective to operate and there are often simple alterations that can be made at the design stage that could be implemented with very little expenditure.

As a typical scenario Ashville would undertake the following:

• Review the design brief provided by architects, engineers, other property professionals.
• Attend all necessary team meetings to comment from a property managers viewpoint.
• Prepare service charge budgets
• Consider service contracts as the scheme evolves
• Co-ordinate a package of information with the client’s lettings team to provide prospective occupiers and client’s solicitors
• Prepare building occupier handbooks
• Prepare dedicated operation manuals for building managers
• Work with client’s solicitors to ensure that leases incorporate relevant service charge clauses that will assist and clarify tenants obligations

Ashville continues to advise a number of client’s on their current proposals for the refurbishment and redevelopment of commercial and residential property throughout the UK.
