Countrywide's LPA Receivership team provides comprehensive expertise to ensure the interests of tenants in occupation while under a valid tenancy agreement are always respected, whilst also ensuring the best result is achieved for the lender in question. Our receivers are first and foremost Chartered Surveyors with unrivalled experience in the residential investment and management sectors. Utilising specialist knowledge in these areas has enabled the development of an appraisal process which provides bespoke, detailed exit strategies for every property in receivership and we have now managed around 3,000 properties through this process.
The wealth of relevant information produced for each property is ideally complemented by greater resources available within Countrywide. This enables the receivers to identify the key issues and implement the required strategy to secure receivership. Success in this area is underpinned by a considered step-by-step plan adhering to proven techniques and milestones. Using tried and tested methods we are able to secure control of the relevant property in an impressively short time period to the maximum benefit of all parties involved.
The trusted and phased programme also works in harmony with our technological advantages. The LPA Receivership team uses Aspasia – the same highly effective residential management software system relied upon by Countrywide Estate Management. Synchronicities in this area ensure the efficient sharing of key data. Importantly, lenders also benefit from secure remote access to the system which enables real-time data on any property in receivership at any time. This access to detailed management information allows lenders to allocate resources efficiently. The receivers are also able to produce additional bespoke periodic reporting as required.
The exit strategies are produced following consideration of all data available and cover a wide spectrum of options ranging from holding the property as an income producing asset to immediate disposal. For this reason our service also provides a seamless link with Countrywide's Asset Management operation. This affords our clients access to the necessary blend of specialist property services to ensure that the strategy specified is implemented quickly and effectively.
