letters to new business, dealing with insurance claim application forms for claims on the block policy also completing property

inquiry forms for people selling. Dealing with lease breaches and covenant issues, service charge accounts, mail merging,

As a property manager it was my personal responsibility to look after 47 sites ranging from freehold residential and commercial

blocks with anything from 5 to 92 units, it consisted of a mixture of freehold and leasehold property. I enjoyed interacting with the

Company Directors on behalf of the management Companies, and dealing with the day-to-day issues from owners/ investors,

tenants and leaseholders.

New skill sets I have acquired

During my time at Oyster, I picked up several new skill sets. One of them was, learning to control a meeting by being the person

to Chair at EGMS and AGMS. As a result of this I would occasionally need to produce my own minutes. Another skill I acquired

was, learning how to deal with leasehold covenant breaches and insurance claims. The last skill set, which was the most

interesting by far, was I learnt how to run larger refurbishment projects and to do this through the section 20 process, I learnt the

procedure from start to finish, right from the point of the statutory notices, to dealing with and getting tenders and negotiating on

prices and different specification requirements, to instructing the winning contractor and finally overseeing with weekly meetings

the project to its final conclusion.

I was happy to work alongside the Business Manager, exploring new opportunities but I also enjoyed working in a small team,

building up and adding to the existing property portfolio.
