Publisher's Synopsis
Property management is normally regarded as a "Cinderella" area by senior educational managers. Traditionally, they have had either little or no responsibility for property matters or have left them, very gratefully, to professional staff who have tended to work on the periphery of institutional life. With the recent independence of the former polytechnics, colleges of higher education, colleges of further education and many schools, this situation is changing rapidly. Property is now recognised as an institution's second most valuable asset after people and is, rightfully, moving to the centre of the stage.;This handbook provides comprehensive guidance on all aspects of property management. It has been written especially for managers who are not experts and win be of equal value to those who are property professionals.
