Additional Services
As part of a multidisciplinary consultancy, Easton Bevins can offer a vast array of additional, property-related services which can be extremely useful for our block management clients. These services include, but are not limited to:
Fire risk assessment
Fire Risk Assessments are required by law for blocks of flats and apartments. They consist of a review of the building that assesses its fire risk and highlights any recommendations that can be implemented to make the building safer.
A new assessment should be carried out every 5 years with a regular yearly review to ensure any changes to the building are taken into account. Easton Bevins have many years’ experience in liaising with local Fire and Rescue Services and are well placed to advise clients on their duties under the legislation.
Health & safety assessment
Health and safety regulations are a legal requirement not only to ensure the safety of residents living in the property, but also their visitors and anybody who works on the property. They not only cover risk assessments for communal areas but also gas and electricity safety, working at height safety and hazardous substance including asbestos and legionella.
Easton Bevins have many years’ experience with health and safety compliance for block management and stay on top of all the latest regulations, ensuring that we take all the necessary measures to keep your building and its occupants safe.
Building insurance valuation
Severe problems can arise due to lack of adequate insurance cover. Clients/Policy Holders are advised to re-assess the sums insured, with an annual adjustment to reflect inflationary effects, and a major review and reassessment every three years or whenever any extensions or significant alterations are made to the insured property.
Reinstatement Cost Assessments are generally made on the basis of total loss, or of such substantial damage that the entire building will require demolition and rebuilding. This is usually a requirement of your buildings insurance. The duty is now placed on the policy holder to assess the value of the sum insured.
Easton Bevins are able to undertake RCA’s for insurance purposes. To meet a high standard of professional competence and best practice, the RICS Practice Standards for the Reinstatement Cost Assessment of buildings is followed. Our particular experience covers blocks of flats and commercial property.
Statutory consents
Whatever works you are proposing to your property it’s likely that you will require some form of permission or approval. These are known as Statutory Consents and may include:
- Planning Permission
- Building Regulations
- Listed Building Consent
- Fire Risk Assessments
We have experience in all types of projects from simple domestic extensions through to large new build developments. We can prepare the applications and prepare and/or advise on all necessary information to ensure that you have the correct approvals and permissions in place.
