Property Management in Chelsea
Choosing a managing agent in Chelsea starts with the instruction: an individual tenancy, a private home or a communal building for an RMC or freeholder. Compare authority, reporting, contractor approval and handover arrangements against the same scope, rather than choosing on the headline fee alone.
Fixed written quote for every instruction - tell us the property and unit count and we will price it once we have reviewed the details.

Property in Chelsea
Chelsea includes period conversions, mansion blocks and private houses. Some properties involve an estate landlord or a separate block manager. Ask how your proposed agent will distinguish internal repairs from shared-building responsibilities, and who obtains permissions before work starts.
Local rules that affect you
Kensington and Chelsea operates additional HMO licensing and is strict on works to listed and Article 4 properties. Basement, window and external-decoration works around the conservation areas almost always need consent before a contractor starts.
Cadogan and estate leases
Many Chelsea estate leases contain alteration and decoration requirements. Confirm the correct lease obligations, whether landlord consent is needed, who obtains it and which professional fees are excluded before instructing any works.
Discreet tenant placement
For a let home, compare referencing, repair reporting, inspection records and tenancy-change charges. For a private home, ask instead about visits, keys and contractor access; neither scope should imply control of communal building systems.
Trades who work in period property
Sash windows, traditional plaster and shared drainage require contractors familiar with period buildings. Agree how specialist competence, permissions, estimates and evidence of completed works will be checked.

A private home used between visits needs a different scope from a tenancy or a communal building. See our luxury property management service for agreed inspections, contractor access and owner reporting; block responsibilities remain separate.
