We understand that every estate is unique - whether we are assisting a solicitor, charity or corporate client, we have a wealth of knowledge and experience to provide bespoke solutions for even the most complex estates.
The traditional way to deal with the physical assets of an estate is to deal with them as they arise, this means sourcing and sending contractor each time an issue / query arises, this can be extremely time consuming and often the list can become very long.
For example, you have the usual:
Chattels valuations, clearance quotes, meter readings, all requiring different contractors and that’s even before you check the insurance stipulations - Does the property need draining down / regular inspections?
Followed by the unknowns (trust us they do pop up!)
Disaster strikes and the boiler breaks down, ‘is it a combi boiler?’ ‘What model is it?’‘Is it gas or oil fired?' ‘Who should we call?’
Or perhaps burst pipe – ‘Where is the stop tap?’ ‘Does it work?’
And then as a result of the bust pipe a ceiling comes down – Is the ceiling artex? Does it contain Asbestos? Can we let people in? What’s the cost of an Asbestos test?
Then you come across the deceased’s driving licence and think …..
Is there a car at the property? – ‘What’s the registration?’ ‘Where are the keys?’ ‘What’s the condition?' 'Has it got avalue?' ‘How do we sell/dispose of it?’
And that’s before you take a look at the title plan and think, ‘that place has a huge garden!’ and 'should we cut the grass?' ‘Does it need cutting?’ ‘How often?’
The above are just some examples of instances likely to arise, and the time you could spend obtaining information and making contractor arrangements can tie you up for weeks.
Wouldn’t it be great if you were to know if the property has Artex ceilings, that the stoptap works and the costs to test / replace the stop tap before it becomes an issue?
There is an answer ….The Rubix Physical Asset Report.
The above situations are time consuming and often frustrating but can be avoided with the Rubix Physical Asset Report. With Rubix all of the above information as well as much more is included in our comprehensive report.
