We'd love to talk to you, discuss any challenges you may be experiencing and answer any questions you may have.
What is Your Challenge?
If high service charges are the root cause of your discontent – we’ve been solving that problem for decades. We did so at Cross Street, Manchester, and you can read about it in this Case Study.
Poor customer service, a lack of transparency and increasing costs might be your problem. Again, that’s nothing new for us to resolve. This case study covers those issues.

-
The grass was over a foot tall and hadn’t been maintained for months
-
The communal stairways and hallways were full of leaves and litter
-
Many of the light bulbs weren’t working – making the stairways unsafe

The Ellenbrook Court Case Study tells you more about how those problems were solved.
We could go on for hours talking about the poor property management we’ve seen over the years. There are recurring themes and there are many managing agents who fail to deal with the basics … efficient financial management … regular, thorough onsite inspections followed by proactive repairs and maintenance … good communications … and being professional and transparent. At Casserly Property Management, we work hard to make these things seem easy to achieve.
