If you’re thinking about buying an apartment in the new year, we have put together 10 questions to help with the process. If at all possible, you should ask to view the apartment with the apartment owner. If you are shown around by the letting agent, they will know very little about the apartment. If […]
Did you know, we buy around six million Christmas trees each year? That’s £300m! In weight terms that’s around 160,000 tonnes with 80% of these being the now popular variety of “non-drop” Nordmann Fir Christmas tree. But what do you do with your sparkly Christmas tree after the fun ends and January begins? Well, on […]
“I’m going to put laminate flooring throughout my whole apartment.” STOP. Who would think you need to even give this a second thought? But you do. Leases for apartments can have instructions in them about what floor coverings to use and in what rooms. There are good reasons for this, but the main one is […]
You or your landlord will pay a service charge to Revolution or a company like Revolution. This is to cover the cost of running the building such as lighting, cleaning, etc. It will also cover something to do with your apartment, but this is where things become contentious as it doesn’t cover everything.

Condensation is when the air in the apartment has […]
How do I find a good property manager? The starting point to finding yourself a property management company is ARMA (Association of Residential Managing Agents). You can search for a member here: https://arma.org.uk/leaseholders/search-for-a-member ARMA audit their members (of which we are one) and have a new system called ARMA-Q (which again, we have passed).

With single-use plastic very much on everyone’s minds at the moment, we need to all take stock. We are addicted to single-use plastic but we all need to make an effort to stop using it. Now. Only a small percentage is recycled, and it takes hundreds of years to break down. Choose alternatives where you […]
Do you have any questions about property management? We try our best to produce a news article each week on different subjects.
