“Having experienced a block managing agent that seemed to have no control over spending, it’s refreshing to work with a managing agent that is 100% transparent. Their portal system enables tracking of maintenance tasks, and their use of the Xero accounts system means that directors can keep track of all expenditure. Highly recommended.

Daniel

I very highly recommend Common Ground. Their conscientious team is highly professional, experienced and efficient, which is extremely reassuring to Directors and responsible owners of properties. They are pro-active, helping to plan ahead and to anticipate problems, which they can deal with firmly but sensitively. They are a pleasure to work with.

Clive

We moved to Common Ground from one of the large national agents. The list of maintenance items that required attention was growing longer and longer as we were moved from one property manager to the next. Common Ground stood out from the day the MD came to assess the site and fixed two of the outstanding maintenance items during that visit.

Common Ground worked through the maintenance items which we were able to track through their portal system. It’s also been a pleasure to have the same property manager and accountant throughout. The continuity is important, so it is good to work with an agent that retains its staff.

Hila

Our relatively small development was rescued by Common Ground after a disastrous initial situation caused by the inefficiency of the managing agents appointed by the developer. After examining the situation Common Ground came up with a first rate transparent management system which gave directors full and instant access to accounts and other matters, such as legal advice and rights of leaseholders. They make managing easy for directors and attend to everyday problems promptly.

Common Ground provides regular site visits and surveys conducted by experienced property managers, which help to address small maintenance jobs and identify potential problems before they escalate.

Our in-house maintenance team can quickly address small jobs, or they can be outsourced to preferred contractors, resulting in shorter response times and cost savings.
