Centrick Consult

We believe that the most effective property management is rooted in the most efficient design, which is why consult on design for management. Our design for management reports ensure that your project is not only appealing to potential residents and future buyers, but is also operationally sound to ensure the smooth running of day-to-day operations. From energy and utility strategies to reviewing technical plans and participating in project meetings, we ensure that every detail is optimised.

Our property consultancy services also dive into the configuration of your proposed units, seeking ways to maximise space, ensure unit diversification, and create flexible use of space that residents will enjoy, adding value to your development. What’s more, our CAPEX set-up modelling helps you future-proof your investment, ensuring your project’s capital expenditure is managed effectively from the outset.

Operational success is crucial to maximising the long-term financial efficiency of your development. Whether you are developing a BTR scheme or a PRS development, co-living, student accommodation or retirement living, Centrick Consult has the insights and knowledge to help you on your road to excellent operational management that you can rely on. Centrick Consult can evaluate existing operational schemes, offering a comprehensive OPEX health check to identify areas for NOI improvement.

We consider every detail – from reviewing site based staff strategies, to supplier contracts, consideration of possible additional appealing facilities to boost market value, and of course – ensuring rents are in line with market rates. We can also help you develop the most robust operational management strategies and processes, keeping you compliant with legislative and regulatory requirements while optimising property performance to benefit both investors and residents.

In the heart of Leicester, The Saxons (formerly Saxon House) was acquired by BTR developer Oblix Living to create a new proposition for the city. During the early stages of the project Centrick extensively researched the local market, modelling a number of viability studies to inform the clients acquisition and funding of the scheme. Working closely with the developer on both the range and style of the amenity spaces, Centrick Consult also worked closely on the design of the resident engagement planning, on-site resident engagement team and end to end customer journey.  

The resulting design, marketing program and competitive positioning ensured that the scheme attracted significant interest, with a current wait list of over 300 applicants and an on-site resident team already fully ingrained in the development the liveability of the scheme is already shining through.
