For service and expertise, HWBC’s Property Management department is a leader in its field. Our team has demonstrated specialist knowledge when managing both large and small-scale projects and has garnered a reputation for a client-focused, expert service unsurpassed in the industry.
With our vast experience we adopt a straightforward and practical approach to deliver an efficient and effective property management service which delivers value to tenants and clients. We recognise the importance of a comprehensive management plan to maintain and enhance the client’s asset value over the lifetime of the hold period and, on disposal, presenting the asset with a clear management direction and historic path.
Property management is a complex and broad discipline and can extend from public relations to technical surveys and reviews. Mostly, however, it is a people business which needs a firm grounding in a sound understanding of the landlord-tenant relationship.
Our team has extensive experience in managing commercial real estate assets and the landlord’s relationship with its tenants. We believe in clear communication with tenants, and ensuring our availability to engage as and when needed.
Sound financial management is the key to successful property management and at HWBC we operate to the highest standards in the management of client funds and through exercising robust controls and practices. Our team is available to clients at all times and we adopt a flexible approach to deliver bespoke client reporting to their required needs and within timelines stipulated.
We work closely with our colleagues in asset management, agency and investment to ensure our ethos of seeing a client’s investment rationale from acquisition through to eventual disposal is fulfilled.
