Darcy Residential Property Management took over the management of our seven-storey purpose-built building in Chelsea around five months ago, inheriting a very difficult situation after a prolonged period of poor management. The improvement in such a relatively short period has been significant.
We have already seen a noticeable improvement in the cleanliness and day-to-day running of the building, a much more proactive approach to identifying longer-term maintenance and compliance issues, and tangible progress in reducing service-charge arrears.
Nazy Amini, the owner of Darcy Residential, is exceptionally dedicated, driven and hands-on. She is closely involved in the management of the property, readily available when issues arise, responsive in emergencies, and determined to ensure that the building is properly managed and that residents respect the rules and standards necessary for everyone to enjoy a safe and pleasant living environment.
Nazy is supported by a very responsive team, including Rozita and others, who are consistently available to help resolve problems and follow matters through.
We are still emerging from what was inevitably a demanding transitional period, given the number of issues Darcy inherited, but the direction of travel is very clear. I am confident that they will continue to improve the long-term management of the building and progressively address the legacy problems left behind.
Based on our experience so far, I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Darcy Residential Property Management.
Darcy Residential go over and beyond. I have been in the property industry since the 1980’s and have never once came across a client who did not have problems with their managing agents. Until when Darcy Residential took over the management of the building where I reside. Every single person who works in this company is professional and they do more than is expected. Nazy Amini is a perfectionist and very knowledgeable in her field. She attends to every detail and will go the extra mile. And you never think she is rolling her eyes when you ask her for something! We are so lucky to have Darcys.
A block managing agent looks after the day-to-day running of a residential building: arranging maintenance and repairs, managing contractors, preparing service charge budgets and accounts, meeting compliance requirements such as fire safety, lift and electrical testing, and communicating with leaseholders and directors.
A property manager, usually called a managing agent, runs the building day to day for the freeholder or the residents' company. That means arranging repairs and planned maintenance, keeping safety and compliance records, setting the service charge budget, collecting service charges, producing year-end accounts and consulting leaseholders on major works.
Block management looks after a whole building: the shared parts, shared services, insurance, safety compliance and the service charge that leaseholders pay under their leases. Property management is a wider term and can also mean looking after individual homes. For a building with several leaseholders, block management is the service the leases are built around.
Freeholders, resident management companies, right-to-manage companies and leaseholders of residential blocks in Central and West London. See our residential block management service.
Look for a firm that belongs to a government-approved redress scheme such as The Property Ombudsman, gives you direct access to a senior person, shows clear budgets and year-end accounts, keeps compliance records up to date, has handled period buildings and major works, and gives a written fee schedule. Ask for references from directors of similar buildings. Darcy Residential is director-led and registered with The Property Ombudsman.
Yes. Darcy Residential is registered with The Property Ombudsman (TPO).
The route depends on your lease and on whether the building is run by a freeholder, a resident management company or a right-to-manage company. We explain the options and manage the handover. Read our guide to changing your managing agent.
