What you'll be doing day to day is
- Reviewing and validating service charge schedules against tenancy agreements, leases, asset hierarchies, and occupancy records.
- Investigating service charge discrepancies, identifying genuine errors and ensuring over or undercharging is resolved appropriately.
- Visiting housing schemes nationally to verify assets, review service delivery, and ensure service charge data accurately reflects properties on site.
- Working closely with Housing, Finance, Asset Management, and external contractors to maintain accurate billing, improve processes, and future-proof service charge models.
- Producing reports and analysis that support decision-making, improve transparency, and ensure compliance with leasehold and tenancy obligations.
