Block Management
Block Management
Galway Property Services are very successful in this specialised area of Multi Unit Block Management and can give you a positive result for your (OMC) Owner Management Company. We work proactively and collaboratively with each OMC Board of Directors in an effort to eliminate issues before they arise. This has given us long term relationships with our clients.
Protecting your investment is our priority.
We work with OMC’s from Galway to Donegal and have a proven track record for being efficient and reliable with the ability to provide a bespoke service to our clients focusing on their needs. We monitor costs and services – tendering on a regular basis – to ensure that our clients receive the best possible service at the best possible price.
We support OMC’s in the day to day running of their company. We understand that you may have purchased a property and suddenly found yourself a member of an OMC with a responsibility for more than just your own four walls. We can help guide you and take the work out of running your OMC. This is our day job so that it doesn’t have to encroach on your day job.
“I have worked with Kay McGuire for quite a few years now and in that time I have found her to be straightforward, task oriented and scrupulous in her attention to detail. Once Kay says she will do something it is done. I look forward to many more years of constructive collaboration and have no hesitation in recommending Kay and her company to others.”
Stephen Hayes, Owner-Diocesan Managed Services
Service Charge Collection & Management
The cost of managing the complex is met by a service charge levied on each owner. Galway Property Services provide a yearly Service Charge and Sinking Fund Budget. Owners appreciate the need to create a sinking fund to deal with maintenance issues which will occur in the future. This fund should be provided for in the annual service charge.
A Reliable Partner
Supporting Your Owner Management Company
Annual General Meeting
Galway Property Services will arrange and attend all Board Meetings, Annual General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings of the Management Company, as necessary.
Financial Record Management
Galway Property Services will maintain financial records to allow for the production of annual accounts and audited annual accounts as necessary.
Insurance
The importance of adequate insurance cover cannot be overestimated. Galway Property Services will arrange for this cover and deal with any claims or indemnity issues that may arise.
Liaison with Owners
On the completion of a development, ownership of the common areas of the development is vested in the Management Company formed for this purpose. The members of this Management Company are the owners of the property within the development. This Management Company is a limited company and as such is required to hold Annual General Meetings, elect Directors, and produce accounts. The management company is also responsible to particular parts of the development – for example green areas, lighting, etc. The members elect directors to deal with any management issues.
When Galway Property Services is managing a development, we organise meetings with the directors, as necessary. This enables us to keep in touch with owners and react to any concerns they may have.
We also manage all enquiries and correspondence from owners and residents and act as the main point of contact for any issues that arise.
“Galway Property Services keep the focus where it should be, on the best interests of the OMC and its members…know when to put pressure on to bad payers…I would highly recommend Galway Property Services.”
