If your managing agent has resigned, ceased trading or left your building without effective management arrangements, East Valley may be able to organise a rapid assessment and structured takeover. We first establish who has authority to appoint a new agent, when responsibility needs to transfer and what information is available about the building, its funds, contractors and compliance position.
East Valley is based in Romford and supports blocks across Greater London and Essex. An initial review does not commit you to appointing us, and we cannot accept every urgent appointment.
A short timetable does not remove the need to check the existing contract and decision-making requirements. Management dissatisfaction alone does not necessarily give a client authority to make an immediate appointment.
The first review establishes whether a safe appointment is possible and what must happen before management responsibility can transfer.
East Valley does not provide legal advice. Where appointment authority, termination rights or contractual obligations are uncertain, appropriate legal advice may be needed.
Incomplete information does not necessarily prevent an initial discussion, but it may affect how quickly a takeover can be agreed safely.
Depending on the appointment and the information available, early work may focus on the following priorities.
East Valley does not control funds or records before it has been formally appointed and the relevant access has been established.
An urgent appointment does not remove the need for:
East Valley is a managing agent, not a law firm, emergency contractor, fire engineer, surveyor or statutory auditor.
This page is for blocks that urgently need a managing agent or management handover. It is not an emergency contractor or repair-reporting service. Existing East Valley residents should use the Report a Repair service or the emergency contact arrangements provided for their development.
East Valley provides a written management proposal. The proposed fee depends on the number of units, facilities, compliance position, records and expected workload. We do not currently charge VAT and do not take commissions on insurance, communal utilities or contractor invoices. Additional or specialist work is identified separately.
