Les Balla MRICS

Consultant, KWB Property Management

I am a Consultant at KWB Property Management, and a Chartered Surveyor. Specialising in property management and professional consultancy, my work benefits from a wider insight stemming from a history in general practice surveying.

I can assist you with a variety of your commercial property management requirements including lease arrangements, rent reviews and lease renewals, dilapidations, property consultancy, investment advice, rent collections and general landlord and tenant issues.

From a commercial property management perspective, I understand that as an independent landlord or head of a family trust, what you need is a knowledgeable point of contact that can look after your best interests. Assurance comes from having the property expertise you need, when you need it – so that matters are always in hand. I appreciate the importance of a personal contact.

Judith Williams BSc (Hons), MRICS

Senior Property Management Surveyor, KWB Property Management

I am a Senior Property Management Surveyor at KWB Property Management and manage a portfolio of Midlands-based office, industrial, retail and mixed use schemes on behalf of a range of property companies and private landlords.

As a RICS qualified property surveyor with 30 years of experience, I have developed an in-depth understanding of a wide range of property types, industry processes and property management procedures.

I take a proactive, personal and communicative approach to my daily workload. I understand that satisfied tenants are of prime importance to property owners, leading to prompt rent payments and limiting void periods by encouraging long-term occupation. First impressions count when marketing vacant space and potential tenants need confidence that premises are well managed.
