Properties within probate and Court of Protection matters require more than reactive repairs. They require consistent oversight, documented compliance and clear accountability.

Harrisons Property Solutions provides ongoing maintenance and compliance support designed specifically for solicitors, professional deputies, executors and public bodies. Our service ensures properties remain safe, secure, compliant and properly documented — whether occupied or vacant.

Why Ongoing Oversight Matters

Without structured maintenance and compliance management, properties can quickly present:

• Safety risks
• Insurance breaches
• Deterioration and preventable damage
• Regulatory non-compliance
• Increased liability exposure

Regular, documented oversight reduces risk and supports defensible decision-making.

Our Ongoing Maintenance Service

Planned & Preventative Maintenance

We coordinate routine and preventative works to protect the property and avoid more costly intervention later.

Typically includes:

• Minor repairs and remedial works
• Seasonal property checks
• Drain-down and winterisation (where required)
• External and grounds maintenance
• Monitoring of wear and deterioration

Where works are instructed, all activity is documented and supported by completion reporting.

Compliance & Certification Coordination

We manage and coordinate essential compliance requirements, ensuring documentation is maintained for estate or deputy records.

Typically includes:

• Gas safety certification (where applicable)
• Electrical inspection coordination (EICR)
• EPC coordination
• Locksmith and access control management
• Security and safety checks

All certification is logged and structured for professional review.

Reporting & Audit Trail

Clear documentation is central to our approach. For each instructed work or compliance action, we provide structured reporting suitable for file retention and audit.

This may include:

• Property inspection reports
• Schedules of works
• Quote comparisons with recommendations
• Completion and works verification reports
• Ongoing condition updates

Our reporting format aligns with probate and Court of Protection requirements and is designed to withstand scrutiny.

Vacant Property Maintenance

Where properties are unoccupied, maintenance and compliance become even more critical.

We provide:

• Scheduled inspections
• Risk monitoring and updates
• Coordination of urgent repairs
• Security review and enhancement
• Ongoing reporting for deputy records

Where higher levels of security are required, we work in collaboration with Harrisons Empty Property Solutions to implement appropriate vacant property protection measures.

Integrated Property Solutions

Ongoing maintenance and compliance often sit alongside wider services, including:

• Initial property inspections
• Probate sale preparation
• Clearance and presentation
• Refurbishment and coordinated works
• Vacant property management

By integrating these services, we ensure continuity, consistency and clear oversight throughout the lifecycle of the property.

Who We Support

Our ongoing maintenance and compliance service supports:

• Professional deputy firms
• Probate and private client solicitors
• Executors and estate administrators
• Public bodies managing residential properties

Whether you require periodic oversight or a structured long-term maintenance arrangement, our service is designed to reduce risk and provide clarity.

Our Approach

We follow a consistent framework:

Instruction → Inspection & Risk Assessment → Planned Maintenance → Compliance Coordination → Reporting & Verification

This structured approach ensures properties remain protected and properly documented at every stage.
