The Lifecycle · Stage Four

Money, moved with precision and restraint.

Cedarwood operates the financial spine of your property — rent collected on time, contractors settled cleanly, every penny reconciled, every statement auditable.

The Engagement

Trusted custody of client funds.

Owning property in London should not mean chasing tenants or reconciling invoices. We hold client funds in regulated, ring-fenced accounts and operate a disciplined monthly cycle so that landlords, principals and finance directors see clean numbers, on time, every time.

Transparency is a baseline, not a feature. You see every movement, every supporting document, and every reconciliation behind the balance we remit.

What We Administer

A complete finance function.

Rent Collection

Direct-debit and standing-order collection, arrears management and tactful tenant communication where dialogue is required.

Contractor Settlement

Invoice verification, multi-quote validation and timely payment of vetted suppliers from the client account.

Reporting & Reconciliation

Monthly landlord statements, line-item ledgers and year-end summaries ready for your accountant or auditor.

Treasury & Tax Liaison

Coordination with your accountants for non-resident landlord schemes, VAT, CIS and quarterly returns where applicable.

Controls

How we protect your money.

  1. 01

    Segregated Client Accounts

    Client funds are held in dedicated, regulated client accounts — never co-mingled with Cedarwood operating funds.

  2. 02

    Dual Authorisation

    Outgoing payments above defined thresholds require two-partner authorisation and a verified supporting invoice.

  3. 03

    Real-Time Audit Trail

    Every transaction is logged, attributable and exportable on demand — supporting both routine reporting and any external audit.

  4. 04

    Monthly Remittance

    A clean, single remittance to your nominated account on a fixed monthly date, with a one-page statement and a full ledger attached.
