About Us
Bruce & Partners has been a well established property company managing residential property in Aberdeen, Ellon and Aberdeenshire. In October 2011 Grant & Wilson Property Management Limited assumed control of Bruce & Partners following the acquisition of the Partnership.
Grant & Wilson Property Management Limited have been established for over 100 years and is a family firm which prides itself in taking a proactive role in managing property on behalf of owners. We have enclosed our company information inserts and newsletter for you to read at your leisure. We manage property across the central belt of Scotland and the North, serviced from offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness. We have a strong internal support network within Grant & Wilson and our Management team have many years of experience in the property industry and customer service sectors. We believe in managing all aspects of Property Management in-house and have an Insurance Manager, Paralegal and Contracts Manager all working together to ensure our owner/occupiers are receiving a qualitative service. Our philosophy is to look after property as if it was our own and give advice and support to owners on a variety of issues that may arise.
More information on Grant & Wilson Property Management Limited can be found at www.grantandwilson.co.uk.
Our aim is to work in partnership with owners to build a good working relationship, one, which is built on trust. In managing your property/development we have the authority under the Title Deeds (Deeds of Conditions) which, on behalf of owners, allows us to instruct and carry out repairs and maintenance to common parts of the property or open areas of co-owned developments.
Part of our normal duties is to put in place service contracts, and these will include garden maintenance, including grass cutting, communal cleaning, door entry systems, window cleaning, maintenance of common stairway lighting and roof repairs and the like. The garden maintenance/common cleaning contracts are renewed annually and, prior to accepting a tender, owners will have the opportunity of considering revised tenders and nominating the contractor of their choice.
There are advantages in having a factor acting on your behalf, as they can deal with contractors on behalf of all owners to ensure that work is carried out to your satisfaction and to receive competitive estimates
We will visit your property on a regular basis; however should there be any issue, which you would wish to raise with us in the intervening period, please do not hesitate to make contact.
