The following is a schedule of management services, all of which can be included in the management fee:

1. Collection of ground rents (if applicable), insurance premiums and service charges, in accordance with the terms of the leases, and the agreed annual service charge estimate.
2. Service charge funds are required to be held in trust, in accordance with current legislation and RICS regulations. These funds would be held by Let-Me in a specially designated client account on which interest is earned and credited to the service charge fund. Similarly, specially designated reserve funds are set up, on which interest is earned and credited to the fund.
3. The authorisation of invoices and payments for approved expenditure eg porterage, cleaning, insurance and repairs.
4. The preparation of the annual service charge account (excluding Company Secretary work), arranging for the audit, and dealing with all queries raised by the auditors. If the account indicates an additional charge or a refund due to the lessees, when compared with the annual service charge budget, we arrange for the individual calculations of either the excess or the refund, and forward details to the lessees.
5. The preparation of quarterly property management client statements.
6. Provision of surveying services for 'major' works at an overall cost of 15% of contract value plus VAT.
