      Creating a comprehensive property database will be the source of our key information, be it identifying critical events, operating the service charges, treasury, rent collection, planned preventative maintenance, or delivering and forecasting capital expenditure.

      During Covid-19 stepping up our tenant engagement has been the key to understanding occupational needs, as well as payment ability, smoothing income flows and reducing voids.

      We will help you to future-proof your estate.  Be it a historic or modernist building, we can identify maintenance and repair needs before they become an issue and assist in ensuring you meet sustainability credentials.

      Protecting our clients’ returns is a matter of pride for us. We work diligently to take the pain away for our clients. By rolling up our sleeves and taking a proactive role, we reduce the surprises ensuring that any risk to income generation is identified early and mitigated.

      You will have peace of mind that your overall portfolio and individual property strategies are being implemented, whilst also protecting your reputational risk.

      From rescuing an injured barn owl, to a machete wielding member of the public in a basement, to delivering a landlord’s illegal occupation order to a number of trespassers, supported by 15 police officers… we’re pretty certain we have seen it all

      Building on the already strong tenant interaction, Bidwells has been able to guide the College through an extremely difficult pandemic year and ensure that any assistance the College was able to provide was given to those that needed it most. Regular reporting and updates to the College have provided the basis on which income could be maximised but with a suitably sensitive approach.
