Its a good idea to find out as much as possible about the managing agents as they will either make your living at the property much simpler or problematic. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day issues like the upkeep of the common parts. Ask other people whether they are happy with them. Finally, investigate as to the dates that the service charges are due to the managing agents and specifically how they are spending the funds.
