Property Department

We are on hand to provide advice for small works and to help the parish ensure works are completed safely and satisfactoraly. Where the project is more complex the Diocesan Surveyor will become involved.

We provide advice and guidance to ensure that parishes use suitable contractors who are also adequately insured. The Property Administrator can help in seeking an appropriate contractor when needed.

This is a complex legal area and no agreement should be entered into without the guidance and support of the property department. The property team will conduct a feasibility study and then instruct external agents to manage this.

All acquisitions and disposals will be dealt with via the property department.

We work in conjunction with Mentor Services to assist parishes to be compliant with all relevant and current legislation. We do this by providing information to parishes to guide them in this area and arranging statuory works where required, and being on hand to offer advice when needed.
