Clement Keys
Chartered Accountants

At Clement Keys we appreciate that transparency and accountability are of fundamental importance to the service charge sector.

We understand that landlords and other managing agents have a duty to demonstrate the integrity of service charge accounts, usually within a short reporting timescale, and to show that managed funds have been spent appropriately.

Clement Keys has a specialist service charge team which has unrivalled local and national experience in the provision of professional services to landlords and managing agents in the residential and commercial sectors.

Our commercial work encompasses service charge assignments for shopping centres, office blocks, retail parks and industrial centres.

We offer a broad spectrum of services to both small developments with a low number of units and to large mixed use developments.

Our services include:

• Preparation of statutory accounts
• Company secretarial services
• External service charge certification and audit
• Reviewing service charge accounts
• Advice and assistance in relation to VAT

We do not believe that service charge certification can be achieved using a risk based approach and, unlike other firms, perform 100% verification of all expenditure.

This robust methodology ensures that information is accurate and reduces the level of disputes between landlord and tenant, adding value to the service provided by the managing agent.

At Clement Keys we are fully conversant with landlord and tenant related legislation and the firm is an affiliate member of the Association of Residential Managing Agents and the Association of Retirement Housing Managers.

As leaders in this sector, we are trusted and respected by landlords, tenants and managing agents for our knowledge, approach and high quality service.
