Our flexible services
Services to suit
At a glance
We offer two levels of service to fit your needs. Dive in for Full Management – or choose Accounts Only and tag on the extras. 1
Full Management
When it comes to the sharp end of leasehold and facilities management, we take the hassle out of your hands. Naturally, we’ll fully review your future maintenance requirements, collect service charges effectively, handle service level agreements with contractors, take care of all your administrative and legislative obligations – and keep you fully up to speed with the accounts.

Accounts Only
Got a smaller development? You might not need ‘the works’ but you’ll no doubt want some support – and peace of mind that we’re there in the background. Accounts Only packages up all the services we think you’ll need. That’s everything from collecting service charges and paying contractors, to making sure the admin is up to date and dealt with.
And we’ll go a step further too – with hands-on things, like carrying out regular site inspections and holding meetings with the management company directors or freeholders. That’s because we believe there’s nothing better than the human touch to keep things ticking along nicely.

Our flexible service
Andrews — Leasehold
You’re in safe hands Changing management agents? Don’t worry.
Building a new development? We’re with you. We’ve worked with the leading house builders from the word go – creating lease details, planning communal facilities and helping with the sales process. We’ll set the initial service charge at a realistic rate for you, so your new leaseholders know exactly what they’ll pay over the first few years. We’re not in the business of surprises.
We’ll smoothly and seamlessly transfer all your records and information.
Want us to project manage the repairs and maintenance? Great.
We’re members of ARMA, so we do everything to the letter of their management guidelines. We’ll work towards agreed timescales in advance to make sure you and your leaseholders are onboard and in the know – from day one.
Big complicated projects, like communal boiler replacements and new roofs? No problem. Smaller issues, like broken external redecorations and window replacements? Easy. We won’t even waste your time discussing it – we’ll just fix them. Whatever needs doing – we can handle it.

Social philanthropy
A sense of community: our social conscience It might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think about estate agents and property companies. But a big part of our philosophy involves philanthropy and social ventures.
We’re owned by charitable trusts and a large slice of our profits goes to causes that tackle big issues in our communities and overseas, like education, employment and shelter. And it’s not just money we provide — we make plans, we take action, we put ourselves out there. The methods vary. It could be providing valuable support and places to live for young people when they leave care. Or funding trailblazing projects for those with dementia. Whatever works. And whatever’s needed. We’ve been responsible for some amazing initiatives, developed some incredible charities — and we’re not just in it for the short term, but for as long as we’re around. It’s fundamental. So, when you choose us, you’re becoming part of something far, far bigger. Who’d have thought it? Head to Andrewscharitabletrust.org.uk We think you’ll like what you’ll see.
In the last five years we have made a contribution of £2.5 million to fund social enterprises and innovative charitable initiatives. Andrews Property Group
