What our clients say
“The team at Sapphire Property Management were truly excellent in taking the leaseholders of our building through the Right To Manage process. From our initial conversation, the team seemed extremely knowledgable and trustworthy – hence our decision to go ahead with Sapphire. Throughout the process, Jeff, Helen and the team were patient, supportive, extremely diligent and quick to respond. We could not recommend the team more highly and we look forward to working with them going forward.”
“It would be a pleasure to give everyone at Sapphire a testimonial.
Fraser in particular as we find him approachable/fast to react to all our concerns/ Professional and even out of hours the response is immediate.
Sapphire have proven to be a professional and can-do company. We would recommend their services and above all their communication skills.”
“My fellow Directors and I first approached Sapphire around 18 months ago, following a bad experience with an ‘established’ managing agent in Colchester. Right from the outset, it was clear how refreshingly different their service was, and how professional they were – this in spite of being a fairly new operation at the time.
Throughout the tender process (including a total of four potential new agents), Sapphire were the standout winner on the tailored nature of their service to our site (which comprises 180 units), and their desire to work with us to improve the site’s management.
Sapphire have been the complete opposite to our previous agent – they are friendly and professional at all times. They are completely open and transparent in setting their fee – and set it at a very fair level, with no sneaky extras. They are excellent when it comes to new items of expenditure – and always go through a thorough tender process for new suppliers to make sure we’re getting the best value from our service charge.
When things go wrong (for example, burst pipes) they frequently go above and beyond the normal call of duty to get things rectified as quickly as possible.
Overall, appointing Sapphire has been the best decision we’ve ever made for the site. This sentiment was fully endorsed by the 20+ leaseholders that attended the AGM last year, who all agreed that Sapphire were doing an excellent job at managing the site.”
“We moved the management of our development to Sapphire at very short notice. They reviewed all the contacts organised by the previous managers and re-negotiated them resulting in vastly improved provision of cleaning and maintenance of the grounds at substantially lower costs. Our property manager, Lydia, was tenacious and finally resolved the problems with the lift which had been unreliable for months. Despite the substantial costs of fixing this, we were within budget at the end of the year. While working with Sapphire we have managed to continue to improve the development while managing to contain costs. Lydia visits regularly and keeps all of the contracts under close scrutiny to ensure good quality at a keen price. As a landlord, I am delighted that our property is so well managed by an active and interested property manager.”
“Sapphire Property Management have served our property well, cutting costs on many services and ensuring all health and safety regulations are met. They consult constantly with owner-directors and seek the best solution in every case. I would recommend them for their integrity and reliability. Lydia is meticulous and forever courteous in all her dealings with owners, and makes every effort to satisfy everyone.”
“We have worked with Sapphire for some years now and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them. We have found them to be both pleasant and very professional. Their service is excellent and I would be very happy to talk to anyone who would want any additional information.”
“We are a small private development of 10 houses but we receive a 5 star service from both Sapphire as a whole and from our property manager Lydia. Lydia is always available to answer our questions and nothing is too much trouble. She is very proactive, acting in our best interests at all times. Regular site visits identify potential problems that we as residents, may not pick up on and these are always quickly dealt with. We are extremely pleased with the service Sapphire provide and would have no hesitation in recommending them”
