Case study
LEASEHOLD LINK-UP FOR LANDMARK Landmark Systems has built a successful partnership with Strutt and Parker, supplying leasehold management systems for the stunning Marine Court development in St Leonard’s on Sea. The Landmark integrated solution,
combining KEY Accounts and KEY Property, was chosen because it provides effective management of blocks and groups of leasehold properties such as Marine Court. Kate Moisson, a partner at Strutt and Parker,
Lewes, explained, “Clients expect expertise, whether they are the landlord or the tenant. They expect a seamless service, from advising how to achieve an optimum rent and finding the right tenant to handling the paperwork and managing the day-to-day practicalities of a tenancy. “Because of this, we need flexible software
– on a long lease we do not issue rent demands but do send out invoices for management services like ground rent and gardening. “Landmark’s software accommodates these
different set-ups and quickly duplicates service charges across multiple agreements to comply with the structure of each managed property.”
Marine Court, a spectacular 1930s Art Deco
apartment block, is being managed on a comprehensive full service basis, which is where Landmark MD Nigel Parsons believes the KEY systems perform best. He says, “Our integrated system can be
tailored to provide a solution which minimises duplication and ensures maximum connectivity between the accounts software and the property management package, significantly contributing to the seamless, pro-active Strutt and Parker service.”
