Property Management Services

Property management services you can trust

Managing properties can be stressful and time-consuming, from handling internal disputes and tenant issues to navigating the rising cost of living. The last thing you need is the added burden of managing your property’s energy.

 

At RES, we take the hassle out of securing and managing your energy needs. Our expert team negotiates the most competitive tariffs, handles supplier communications, and delivers cost-effective, reliable solutions tailored to your properties. With our property management services supporting your energy requirements, you can stay focused on running your properties with confidence and peace of mind.

Energy billing services

Our energy billing services ensure accurate cost allocation and error-free billing, helping property managers streamline tenant charges, validate invoices, and reduce unnecessary costs.

Tenant recharges

We help you recharge tenants accurately and efficiently. Our team reviews your current recharges, area splits, and creates virtual sub-meters where needed. With our property management services, we provide simple, clear tenant recharge bills on any billing cycle, tailored to each property’s requirements — making energy cost recovery easy and hassle-free.

Bill validation

We take the hassle out of bill management by requesting bills on your behalf, validating them for errors, and handling any disputes directly with suppliers. When changing suppliers, we go the extra mile to ensure your opening bills accurately reflect your actual usage, giving you complete confidence in the process.

Energy visibility services

Our energy visibility services give you real-time insights into usage and full control over energy distribution. Property managers and landlords can easily track consumption, allocate costs accurately, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency.

Monitoring usage portals

Our portal allows you to monitor energy usage across all your sites — individually or as a group — from one easy-to-use platform. Tenants can also access the portal to view their own usage patterns. Greater visibility often leads to better habits, helping to reduce energy consumption by up to 25%.

Landlord sub-meter controls

When tenants fall behind on payments, it can create serious challenges for landlords and property management companies. While we understand that some tenants may need time to recover, prolonged non-payment can become a major issue. Our solution gives you the ability to remotely switch off the tenant’s sub-meter, helping you prevent further energy costs and reducing the risk of chasing unpaid bills.

Admin property management services

Our admin property management services cover tenancy transitions and market tracking, helping property managers stay informed, manage contracts efficiently, and ensure smooth energy account updates.

Change of tenancy (CoT)

Managing a Change of Tenancy (COT) can be challenging, especially across multiple sites. To avoid disconnection notices, incorrect billing, and inflated out-of-contract rates, COTs must be handled correctly. We manage the process for you, ensuring suppliers receive the right documentation and information from the start — making the transition smooth for you and your new tenants.

Market tracking and intelligence

The energy market is constantly evolving — and these changes often impact businesses. Staying informed helps you avoid negative effects and plan for the future. We keep you updated on market developments and advise you on the commitments needed to stay compliant with government regulations, helping you avoid fines and penalties.

RES offers a very helpful and informative service all round. They take the pressure off having to deal with the complicated business rates, terms and conditions. They have sorted everything in a professional manner, keeping us fully informed throughout the process. Our procurement process is complex due to the sheer size of our portfolio, but RES sorted this with ease and left me confident it was in safe hands. Equally, they have promptly dealt with any queries we have had. They also resolved an ongoing historical issue and secured us a large saving back from a previous contract we had been overcharged on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend RES for a reliable, professional service throughout.

The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) set legal requirements for landlords and property managers to ensure rented properties meet a minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E or higher. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £150,000, difficulty leasing properties, and potential devaluation.

The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a tax on business energy use that property managers must account for when supplying energy to commercial tenants. Ensuring correct CCL charges and exemptions helps avoid billing errors, non-compliance, and unnecessary costs for both landlords and tenants.

Landlords and property managers must ensure that all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in rental properties are inspected annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is required, and failure to comply can result in fines, legal action, or imprisonment.

The Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations require landlords and property managers supplying communal heating to assess metering feasibility, provide accurate tenant billing, and register networks with the OPSS (Office for Product Safety and Standards). Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £5,000, making proper metering and transparent billing essential for efficiency and legal compliance.

The Tenant Fees Act 2019 limits what landlords and agents can charge tenants, restricting costs to rent, deposits, and default fees. Charging for extras like referencing or inventories could lead to fines of up to £30,000 and repayment of prohibited fees. Ensuring compliance not only avoids penalties but also builds trust with tenants and keeps your rental business running smoothly.
