GSC Grays offer an extensive range of management services, tailor made to suit individual client's needs. Our expertise, combined with a detailed knowledge of the local area, makes us perfectly placed to offer advice on the management, appraisal, disposal and acquisition of residential, commercial, land and estate portfolios. Our services extend from simply finding a tenant for individual properties, through to the management of large residential and commercial portfolios. We manage a substantial portfolio of rural and urban dwellings occupied by long and short term tenants as well as client employees.

Our services include:

• Lettings and Tenancy Renewals
• Rent and Deposit Collection
• Rent Reviews
• Dealing with all Tenant Enquiries
• Operating Repair and Refurbishment Programmes
• Managing Gas and Electrical Tests
• Administering Service Charges
• Book Keeping and Accountancy Services

We take pride in knowing your tenants rather than simply treating them as a name in a ledger. By doing so, we believe that we manage your property in the best possible way. We adopt a pro-active approach to management and will tailor our service to do as much or as little as you require.

GSC Grays specialise in the provision of a full range of valuation and survey reports in accordance with the guidelines of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), with experience in reporting to private clients, other professional advisers and financial institutions.

In an increasingly complex and regulated environment, GSC Grays will work with you to determine the exact nature of the report that you require and tailor the valuation to those requirements, be it for secured lending, the purchase of a property, probate, matrimonial disputes, tax planning, compulsory purchase, compensation or insurance re-instatement purposes.

In addition we can facilitate a range of products within the RICS Home Surveys family, including the Homebuyer Report (HBR) and Building Survey.

Over the last few years GSC Grays have been heavily involved in advising on the development potential of clients' property. In light of the changing planning environment we offer a pro-active service, working with other advisers to maximise value and to ease the planning process.

The publication of the National Planning Policy Framework in 2012 and the recent widening of the Permitted Development Rights, has radically altered the planning environment to provide excellent opportunities for the promotion of development sites at all scales. Our experience shows that the economic recovery is now providing market demand for these sites.

GSC Grays operate across the full spectrum of development sites, both in terms of size and use. We are involved in the long term promotion of strategic housing and mixed use developments, whilst continuing to promote smaller, and short term sites.

Our bespoke development appraisals allow the effective production of detailed business plans. These can be used for initial feasibility studies or in support of loan/grant applications.

GSC Grays can provide a critique of any development proposals to ensure that clients understand the project risks and the benefits which might come from further advice.

With a wide portfolio of clients ranging from small rural businesses to large sporting and landed estates, from North Northumberland down to Yorkshire, the experienced team at GSC Grays have a genuine understanding of land and the local and national agricultural industry.

Working with owners and rural businesses in an ever changing environment, we enjoy advising on creative ways to diversify and further develop businesses to help improve performance and profitability.

GSC Grays act for a diverse range of clients and have management responsibilities across County Durham, Yorkshire, Northumberland and Cumbria discharging this role through both resident and non-resident agents.

The circumstances that give rise to either seeking or renewing estate and property management services are rare and need full consideration, especially as these situations are frequently sensitive. From a sporting perspective, we understand the mechanics of both upland and lowland sporting estates and at GSC Grays you will find that we have the sort of expertise which only comes with a lifelong involvement within the sport.

Once a client's requirements have been identified, we work with the client and their advisers to ensure that the service provided, either on an ad hoc or retained basis, is delivered in an efficient, economic and timely manner.

GSC Grays have over ten years' experience in the renewables sector and are familiar with in house and developer led projects. We have extensive experience acting for landowners to negotiate terms for rented sites and assisting the progression of their own projects.

Renewable technologies offer a range of opportunities to access inflation proof income, either by way of direct support (Feed in Tariff or Renewable Heat Incentive) or rental income from land let to a third party.

We are familiar with most farm and estate based technologies, from wind turbines to solar to woodchip boilers. We combine our involvement in owner and developer led projects with our property management experience. This means that we are ideally placed to advise on the most suitable technology and the best way to progress your project.
