PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IN EAST KENT

Your Property Is Our Priority

Our Philosophy

Our core philosophy is that every client is unique, which is why we start with a complimentary consultation and free management audit to fully understand your specific service requirements. Our standard contract encompasses all the duties of an agent as outlined in the RICS Service Charge Residential Management Code. However, we are always open to discussing any additional services you may need.

Once we fully grasp your development’s needs, we’ll create a bespoke package that covers every practical, financial, and legal service necessary.

Our mission is to empower you to oversee the management of your property and make informed decisions, all while being supported by your property manager and the expert guidance of the entire LKPP team.

Our Services

How We Can Help You

Insurance

Clients should consider three main types of insurance: buildings, terrorism, and directors and officers. Buildings insurance is crucial for protecting against accidental damage costs. Leasehold properties typically require a communal policy covering the main structure and communal areas, while leaseholders insure their own contents. For estates or private roads, communal areas like gates and walls usually need insurance. We ensure insurance aligns with lease/deed responsibilities and that reinstatement cost assessments are regularly done.



Maintenance

We prioritise keeping your property in top condition through prompt and high-quality day-to-day maintenance. Regular inspections help us monitor building and grounds conditions, ensuring high standards are maintained. By addressing minor issues like replacing light bulbs, unblocking drains, and repairing doors quickly, we prevent them from becoming major problems. Our focus on efficient maintenance demonstrates our commitment to client and resident convenience and well-being.



Financials

At LKPP, each development has dedicated client bank accounts for financial security. Service charges and ground rents are paid into these accounts, which are used to pay all bills for the management company. Monthly, the accounts are reconciled, and a financial report is available for our clients to view upon request.



Company Secretarial

We act as company secretary for many clients, offering a registered office address for their resident management company. Annually, we fulfill the company secretary duties of completing a confirmation statement for Companies House and lodging statutory accounts.



Communications

We prioritise clear and efficient communication with all leaseholders. We maintain up-to-date contact information to ensure prompt delivery of important documents like service charge demands and AGM notices. For absentee leaseholders, we also keep tenant and agent details on hand to ensure immediate contact for urgent issues, whether legal, contractual, or structural.

Our Customer Reviews

Writing of their block management team at their Cheriton branch: truly excellent. The ladies there, namely Lynsey and Kirsty, could not be more helpful, and have frequently gone the extra mile to solve problems. Top marks and very highly recommended.

O Dykes

As a group of resident owners of a house that comprises four separate flats, we needed a management company to deal with the nuts and bolts of day–to–day running, as well as an independent third party to hand the difficulties or complaints. After several years of being with Lynsey and Kirsty I can highly recommend their competence and friendly nature. They are proactive when it comes to legal matters and patient and accommodating in all other aspects. I’m happy to have LK Property Professionals Ltd take care of us and I look forward to a continuing cordial and highly professional relationship.

J Powell

LK Property Professionals Ltd have been from day one the most professional and pleasant block management agency, dealing with everything swiftly and efficiently, (in contrast with another local agency we dealt with previously), with access to an array of quality tradesmen and a great management infrastructure, the experience has been smooth, efficient and reassuring. Thank you very much, Lynsey and team.

A Oguntade

After suffering two stressful years with our last property managers, we are now delighted with the professional management of our property by LK Property Professionals Ltd.

A James

LK Property Professionals Ltd are the managing agency for our block of flats in a now lovely Victorian building. They organised and managed the replacement of the roof as well as the exterior painting of the building. I was really impressed with how Lynsey & Kirsty kept us informed as well as communicating with the roofing contractors. The agency have always been quick to respond to any concerns we have had. The agency also made sure they visited the site before signing off the work which involved going up on the scaffolding. Impressive!

J Bradley

Lynsey and Kirsty are just good at what they do. “I highly recommend their services! The level of professionalism is outstanding, and their communication is fantastic every step of the way. It’s inspiring to see a woman-led company delivering such excellence. Truly a pleasure to work with!”

J Walmsley

Very professional service all the time I’ve used no problem too big or too small for this team. I’ve called out of hours for assistance too and still not a problem helped me with what I needed and was very helpful and quick process. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs a service from these guys couldn’t thank these guys enough.

Sai

We engaged L&K Property Professionals on recommendation from others in order to rectify many years of poor management of our block.

They helped us, the directors, transfer to them as management agents and immediately took on the challenging task of unravelling poor value utility contracts and helped us plan and budget for long needed improvements.

Lindsey and Kirsty are not only consummate professionals they are approachable, fun and really easy to deal with. I cannot recommend them enough.

J Hartman-Jemmett

Despite being one of LK’s smaller clients, they have been easy to contact and quick to respond to issues arising. Bring experience and a phone book of trade contacts that we have found useful so far.
