Estate Management & the Management of Public Open Space

As an experienced national provider of property management services, Mainstay has a vast amount of expertise in managing residential and mixed-use estates.  The increasing reluctance of local authorities to adopt the estate infrastructure and changes in planning requirements have led to more and more private housing estates requiring an alternative solution for communal open space management. 

We approach every development on an individual basis because every development is different; from large areas of Public Open Space and Equipped Areas of Play to un-adopted roadways and wildlife areas, these developments require a different, adaptable and bespoke management solution.

Whatever the requirements, a management strategy prepared prior to construction can really assist in the long term. Mainstay works closely with developers and their onsite sales agents to introduce the services from the outset and minimise the service charge liability wherever possible. Guidance on the complex service charge structures is a key part of our strategy ensuring that service charges are always fair and equitable.

Where a development has already commenced or is occupied and running, Mainstay will work with the client, (whether a Resident’s Management Company or Freeholder), to advise and assist, ensuring that the service charges are collected in accordance with the legal documentation.
