Swaine Allen specialise in recovering arrears of service charge and ground rent for our clients and their agents.

Because we specialise in service charge and ground rent recovery we understand the economics and context. Arrears must be recovered quickly so that bills can be paid and services provided but this needs to be done professionally to maintain ongoing relationships.
You never need to worry about your legal costs. There will be no surprises. In most cases we wait for them and recover them directly from the debtor. Where this is not possible we inform you in advance of any costs that you will have to pay and you make a business decision whether to proceed or not. So if it doesn't make commercial sense to pay the costs you tell us not to proceed. You will have nothing to pay and you will have had the benefit of our expert assessment of your case free of charge.

What our clients say

We have been delighted with the services provided by Swaine Allen since we decided to sample their services for our service charge arrears collections, so much so we have now placed all our arrears collection with them. The administration and handling of the arrears recovery is swift, hassle free for us as an agent, and at all times we are communicated with regarding the progress of individual accounts. Nothing has been too much trouble for the team, even going above and beyond and assisting us on matters that are outside of their normal day to day remit.

Richard Swaine and his team have been collecting service charge and ground rent arrears on many of our properties for several years now. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others as they combine good collection times with a professional approach. There are never any unexpected costs. Legal costs are usually recovered directly from the debtor with no outlay from us.
