Welcome to the home of transparent property management
Why?
Technology is changing, people are changing, the world is smaller. Communication across the globe is simple, our lives are ever evolving – so why has the property management industry remained stagnant with a refusal to change? Perhaps they don’t want to.
Our concept was born from listening to the demands of residents and tenants in both residential and commercial areas and with a huge dose of common sense we decided we need to present the future of the industry to the world.
How?
The Glacia Property Management System is an entirely web-based system exclusive to Broadwalk Property Management Ltd. It was developed from an existing legal/accounting system with a significant input from our managing director Daniel Hawkins who has spent the last two years formulating this revolutionary idea.
Transparent – how transparent?
Fully. Our system allows both landlords and tenants to view live accounts ledgers for service charge and the reserve funds. They are able to view each transaction with an itemised invoice from our contractors on a 24/7 basis. We also give our users the availability to all the relevant building documentation and up to date bank statements to reassure that is no unlawful use of money elsewhere.
Sounds great – is it expensive?
No. In fact, we are already showing tenants and landlords the significant savings we can make. Our fees are reasonable, and rather than a percentage of the overall expenditure it is a fixed sum – so no surprises. We don’t add a percentage to invoices, charge for issuing certificates or charge fees to assist in the issuing of conveyancing documents. We expect the savings we make to the service charge will at least pay for our management fee.
Why hasn’t this already been done?
Without regulation the system is open to abuse. Having spoken to many tenants we have witnessed this first-hand. Despite media pressure for regulation the government has been slow to react. In the absence of regulation from on high, our system is self-regulating and can be policed openly by its users.
How do I change managing agents?
There are many different ways you can change or at least enforce change. Please call or email us for further advice.
What other advantages do you offer?
Our web-based system means that we are paperless – this makes us more environmentally friendly. Our 14 day payments terms to contractors means that you will receive a superior service whilst making savings for all services.

We don’t do fishing – we prefer clear water to reflect our transparency.
