Upon receiving your initial enquiry, we can conduct a comprehensive review of your current situation, providing solutions to existing challenges and identifying areas for improvement. This consultation is completely free and carries no obligation:
During this process Sentry will:
• Listen attentively to what your homeowner group wants from a new managing agent. • Perform site inspections to familiarise ourselves with the needs of your building or estate. • Identify existing issues or areas for improvement and present clear and effective solutions. • Analyse insurance, maintenance, and contract costs to pinpoint opportunities for savings. • Distribute a proposal outlining our tailored management plan and associated costs. • Assist you and your neighbours in organising a vote to facilitate a change in your factor.
Voting is easy - homeowners can vote online, by post, or by attending in person or virtually.
Onboarding with Sentry
Once you vote to switch to Sentry, the following actions are undertaken:
Notification to Current Factor: We promptly inform your current factor about the vote to switch and provide formal notice of the decision.
Switching Date Arranged: A date is coordinated with your previous factor for their services to end and Sentry services to begin, typically within 2-3 months.
Transfer of Information: We ensure a smooth transition by transferring all relevant information from the previous factor to Sentry, ensuring continuity of service.
During the handover period, which usually lasts between 2-3 months, we maintain regular communication to keep everyone informed and updated on the progress of the transition.
