Our range of Property Management Services

PMS Managing Estates are registered with the ‘Property Redress Scheme’
As part of our TPI accreditation, we are registered with the Property Redress Scheme.  Should anything go wrong, you are entitled to redress through this scheme.  If you are with a Managing agent not registered with an Ombudsman scheme and something goes wrong,

In-house Legal Team
We have our own in-house legal team – PMS have a dedicated team who deal with all manner of legal issues affecting our managed developments. Whilst we do not offer legal ‘advice’ we do provide guidance to our clients on management matters reflected in the various laws which govern our industry and property management in general.

We work with local and national housebuilders
PMS have provided management services to nationally based housebuilders. We also work with locally based property developers for large new-build schemes.

The PMS New Business  Team can transfer management of your block from another agent in as little as a week
We have a dedicated New Business Team who liaise with your outgoing agent to get management up and running as smoothly and swiftly as possible.

PMS actively exploit economies of scale for their clients
If we take over management of your block in an area that we already cover, we will give you the option of using contractors who may be able to offer economies of scale, thus reducing cost to you.

PMS Managing Estates are always trying to save you money
Where costs can be saved via service provision across our portfolio, we will actively exploit economies of scale. Electricity tariffs and block insurance are good examples of how our clients save money where portfolio-wide negotiations for these products are concerned.

Your service charge and reserve funds are protected
PMS hold all client funds in a client-specific bank account which is afforded ‘trust’ status. This account is interest-earning with all interest credited back to you accordingly.

PMS actively promote regulation of our industry
Our former chairman, Terry Sutton, organised a meeting with Bernard Jenkin, MP for Harwich and North Essex, and Will Quince, MP for Colchester to urge them to support changes in the law to regulate the residential Block Management industry.  Read more.

PMS Specialise in property management and nothing else
We do not dilute our attention by dabbling in estate agency or property lettings. PMS operates our business to focus and streamline property management to our customers.

The PMS Group of Companies was originally called Property Management Services (Colchester) Limited when it was incorporated in 1987 – we changed the name of the Company in December 2001 as our portfolio was expanding at such a rapid rate to areas outside Colchester into Essex, Suffolk and beyond.
