Welcome to our September issue of Flat Living Magazine!

This month, we’re turning the spotlight on valuations in property management. Our contributors explore the ongoing debate between desktop and onsite valuations, while also addressing the risks of underinsurance - and practical steps to help you avoid it.

You can also find out more about Adiuvo's new launch, Eve, alongside Karntek's article on fire safety requirement costs and their potential influence on planned budgets.

Flat Living and Property Management Recruitment are excited to announce the return of the Property Management 50 Awards for our seventh year! Make your nomination today.

On pages 6–7, don’t miss our Flat Living Lifestyle highlights, including tips for making a flat truly feel like home and a look at what £1M can buy you in Manchester this September.

In our news section, we cover the latest on rent increases and share details of Claibon’s fundraising efforts in support of CoppaFeel.

As always, we have included training opportunities from TPI and job vacancies from Block Recruit to help you upskill or move on to new pastures.

If you have any questions you would like us to organise an article on, or if you have any interesting articles to add – please send them directly to the team via info@flat-living.co.uk.

Happy reading!

Belinda Bagnall, Priya Sandhu and The Flat Living Team
