Estates Surveyor (Director)

Our client is the management company for one of London’s premier apartment blocks which was designed approximately 10 years ago by one of the UK’s finest architects and now sits on the south bank of the Thames with impressive views over London.

The property is of an age where the program for minor capital works, upgrade and replacement is now becoming quite substantial and the management committee want more control over these works not only from a management perspective but also in terms of quality of work and the long term effect on the property life cycle costs etc. In addition these works will affect the tenants and it is important that this is managed in an appropriate way.

• Undertake the pre sales surveys and other surveys as and when appropriate
