It's up to landlords to hold their PMs to account. A big part of this is regular contact, particularly when milestone dates arise (inspections, end of lease approaching). A professional and competant PM will contact their client when these key dates are approaching.
The consequences of not personally keeping tabs on your PM and property can be very serious, from lost opportunities to increase rent or change tenants, to lack of periodical maintenance which can lead to fixtures requiring replacement much earlier and unexpectedly, compared with if they had been properly and regularly maintained.
Exactly,
We may as well manage it ourselves, and save a packet.
I however, are time poor, so have to settle for micro manageing PM's.
Where are all the good ones......
They shouldn't be that hard to find?
