Peverel Management services is the UK's leading manager of private retirement property. We can also offer a property sales service through our sister company Retirement Homesearch.

At Peverel, we believe in maintaining a property managers comprehensive and professional service at all times and hope that our high standards of management mean you won't have any issues with the service property managers we provide. However, as part of our commitment to our residents we believe that there should be an independent body who will provide property managersyou with someone impartial to turn to should problems arise. This is why we have an appointed an independent Ombudsman, David Hobman CBE. Every development has its own Estates Manager who will visit on a regular basis. Your Estates Manager works with the House Manager to ensure the efficient maintenance and running of the development, and is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accounts.

As a resident of a Peverel managed retirement development, you pay a service charge. The charge will vary, depending on what facilities you have at your development. However, a typical service property managers charge will cover your House Manager's salary, emergency monitoring, cleaning of common areas, gardening and buildings insurance. The charge will also pay for servicing of equipment and for the repair and maintenance of common areas and the outside of the building. Water and property managers sewage charges may also be included. At Peverel we understand the need for strict budgeting and financial accountability. A detailed budget is property managers drawn up at the beginning of each year and is formally presented to residents by way of an open meeting. At year end, a set of independently audited accounts are drawn up and a copy given to each resident. All bills, receipts and invoices relating to these accounts are property managers available for inspection, thus giving complete financial transparency.
