Caretaker Services
Trafalgar’s caretaker services provide comprehensive property facility management solutions, ensuring the efficient maintenance, security, and upkeep of residential and commercial buildings. Full or part time caretakers oversee and manage routine maintenance, repairs, cleaning of communal areas, waste disposal, gardening, and security monitoring. They act as the first point of contact for tenants and residents, manage emergencies, and conduct regular property inspections to prevent issues. Trafalgar’s caretakers are highly trained, reliable, and proactive, offering tailored services to meet the specific needs and budget parameters of each property. With Trafalgar, properties remain safe, clean, and well-maintained, ensuring a high-quality environment for all occupants.
Financial Management
Financial management as a standalone service is also an option for estates which prefer to employ and manage an estate manager directly. Specialised systems and economies of scale position Trafalgar to offer significant savings to residential estates where employing a dedicated on-site administration team is very often not cost effective. Trafalgar’s financial management service includes billing, statement distribution, collections, debt collection, creditor payments, management reporting, payroll administration, statutory reporting and annual audit file preparation. All financial management reports are also available online.
