Property
Safe4 addresses a wide range of property management requirements.
The management of property-related information presents an ideal opportunity for Safe4 to handle a range of different requirements. Whether for freehold or leasehold occupation, residential or commercial, property of all descriptions needs a comprehensive set of documentation to support its management, sale, letting or transfer. Much of the information involved in these processes is highly confidential, as it may contain personal details or sensitive corporate financial data.
This can be illustrated in a number of specific instances:
Resident Management Companies
There are about 100,000 residential blocks of flats in the UK, a high proportion of which are managed by a Resident Management Company. This type of organisation is run by directors, normally appointed from the leasehold owner-occupiers of the block, who have similar fiduciary duties to any other company director. Whether or not the RMC hands some of the daily management tasks to a managing agent, directors are still responsible for all of the financial and company secretarial functions, as well as the reports and returns associated with them.
The unique vault structure of Safe4 makes the handling of a wide range of property-related documents simple and efficient. Directors can access files whenever they wish, and can also grant access to external contractors for activities such as repairs and maintenance, health and safety, gardening, and physical building security, as well as handling Section 20 Notices. There are onerous regulatory and compliance requirements of RMC directors – Safe4 offers a highly effective way of ensuring that all of the information needed to demonstrate compliance is available instantly when it is needed.
When properties within a block are sold, access can also be granted to conveyancing solicitors so that such tasks as completing pre-contract enquiries can be performed with ease. Immediate access to headlease and sublease, with all of the supporting records relating to ground rent and service charge payments, will make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Property Transactions
Residential conveyancing is a very familiar process to anyone who has bought or sold a house. The documents associated with this activity are numerous, and many of the frustrations and delays associated with conveyancing are alleviated when Safe4 is used to make documents available instantly to all relevant parties.
In the case of commercial transactions, Safe4 makes a virtual data room environment available. This permits lawyers, architects, constructors, agents, insurers, financial advisors and clients to have access to the information they need to see. Confidential or sensitive information can be held within permission-controlled sections of the vault, restricting access to authorised users only.
Property Development
Residential and commercial developments alike benefit from the use of Safe4 as a secure and immediate way of delivering documents to other parties involved in the process. Before developments can start there will be an array of consents and clearances, all of which can be made available through Safe4. Once development is under way, all of the documents associated with planning consents, easements, environmental studies, deeds, insurance, health and safety, etc can also be shared with authorised parties.
Lettings
Residential lettings will require a number of documents to be created and handled, whether by an agent or directly by a landlord. As well as the tenancy agreement, it will also be vital for registers of contents, condition reports, evidential photographs, building and contents insurance, deposit arrangements, utility suppliers, local taxation documents and many others to be available to the letting party and the tenant. Safe4 is an ideal platform for dealing with this documentation before the tenancy starts, and throughout the period of occupation.
Summary
Property-related functions are dependent on timely access to accurate information at all stages. Safe4, through its highly configurable vault structure, handles the complete scope of document requirements. Not only does this reduce the time and cost of processes related to property of all kinds, it also takes much of the risk, stress and frustration out of dealing with the wide range of transactions associated with property.
