Stockwell Living as your Building and Property Manager
As your building manager, Stockwell Living have been appointed by the body corporate to look after the operational management of the building and its facilities.
We liaise and supervise various contractors and suppliers carrying out maintenance and upgrades. We manage security, cleaning, property maintenance and undertake day-to-day administrative tasks and enforcing by-laws. In turn we also liaise with the Strata Manager – the Body Corporate Administrator and provide a seamless line of communication across all parties.
Where we have been appointed as a property manager for an individual property, we find tenants, inspect the condition of the property, receive rent and manage repairs and maintenance on an owners’ behalf as well as ensuring all of your levies and rates are paid by the due date prior to the monthly disbursement of your rental income.
Whilst our managers don’t live onsite 24/7, we do work out of the building and manage your properties and the entire complex out of an office. There is a daily presence to ensure that the common property is maintained to the highest level. As we have been involved with the project from your search through to your settlement, we have a strong understanding of the building.
Other benefits include:
We have financial interests in the building, and this makes us all in this together
We have a hands-on approach to maintenance through our caretakers and have local contacts for reliable tradespeople
Our team are mobile. In addition to regular scheduled inspections, our managers constantly monitor the property to ensure all is in order
We are open with our communication. We have absolutely nothing to hide and provide all property owners with access to their records, invoices and statements
Being on site, but not 24 hours, offers two benefits. Firstly, it enables us to build relationships with our owners and tenants alike. This approach ensures that each owner and property receive the personal attention they deserve, providing one point of contact if they have a question, need some help or merely want to have a chat about their property. Secondly, residents enjoy an extra level of privacy, as the property manager is not there 24/7
For landlords, our team can show potential tenants through an apartment for an inspection with relatively short notice, and
With managing 900 properties across the Stockwell portfolio, we have experience in the legislation around body corporates, landlord liability and how owners can get the best out of their property. And because our properties are concentrated in key areas (Dutton Park and West End) we have deep market insights and are quick to respond including when you should be raising your rent prices or selling property on your behalf.
