Autumn 2021

29 Jun21480 The UK is filled with unloved property that holds the potential for excellence. Tapping that potential is the job of the skilled people behind ALB Group who have made a name for themselves in the field. In the 2021's UK Property Awards, the team found acclaim as Nottingham's Most Innovative Property Investment & Letting Company. Here at LUXlife, we thought it time to dig a little deeper into their remarkable success. The ALB Group pride themselves as being property specialists. While many offer package services that are essentially identical, this team prides itself on its flexibility. They are able to adapt and perform to incredibly high standards no matter what the circumstances. No matter what they are faced with, they know how to achieve true greatness in their work. The firm’s first project was a development of 99 student beds in Loughborough, and since them the team have created developments of over 1500 units across the UK. This ranges from their recently completed luxury apartment space in Newark through to small apartment blocks of 11 elsewhere. The team’s comprehensive service means that clients are always satisfied with the work done. They act as a lettings agency, property auction house, mortgage advice service and block management company. When people turn to ALB Group, they turn to the best in every respect. The team’s commitment to detail is why they are entrusted with the renovation of various properties and projects. In less capable hands, vital details might be missed or overlooked. ALB Group ensures that no matter what condition a property is, by the time it is on the market it is of the highest possible calibre. There are very few companies that strive for such incredible standards and meet them on such a regular basis. To ensure such high standards it’s vital to find people who have a genuine passion for the property sector. Outgoing individuals who want to learn and expand their knowledge in this specialist field thrive under the approach championed by the ALB Group team. Instead of focusing on a specific niche and then settling into it, the firm has a policy of ensuring that everyone in the business has a thorough understanding of what every department does. In this way, they can continue to offer their exemplary service to every client who walks through their doors. The last year has seen the introduction of even higher standards in the form of new EWS1 forms. These check for firesafe cladding on the outside of buildings. Many buildings do not legally require them, but many mortgage providers have started to ask for them. The team has built this new expectation into their process and will do so for the foreseeable future. Needless to say, the drop in commercial property prices has seen the firm take advantage of the situation, increasing an impressive portfolio. A clear example of this can be seen in the six commercial units acquired following the collapse of the Arcadia Group. The intention is to offer lettings at a low rate to draw smaller retailers back to local high streets. The success of the team’s luxury approach has brought them universal acclaim across the industry. Needless to say, they are already looking to explore new ways of parlaying this success into even more development projects that will underpin the regeneration and rejuvenation of various regions across the country.
