Block Management
Great Communication
Our great communication, day to day effective management to keep costs low and high service levels to ensure your property’s legal framework can be adhered to – has ensured our block management department has grown from strength to strength over the years.
We work quickly and responsively to ensure that each property within an estate is managed in accordance with its lease and this ensures each resident is well placed to enjoy their day-to-day life.
We can take over management of existing blocks or we can work with companies from the inception of their development to create the right framework that ensures their property has a management structure from day one.
We provide regular statements and have a cloud-based reporting function to keep leaseholders and freeholders fully informed on progress within their development.
If you are a freeholder there are duties under statue that you must adhere to relating to the repairs and maintenance of the overall building structure. If you are self-managing a conversion of apartments, we can assist to ensure that you are legally compliant while giving the best day to day experience for residents.

Cloud-based reporting and monitoring
Cloud-based reporting and monitoring
We use a cloud-based platform which enables directors and leaseholders to log in and view relevant information on their development.
Leaseholders can be given access to their individual service charge information and ongoing maintenance tasks – they can even report maintenance requests via the app.
Directors can be given access to financial reporting functions and real time bank account information. As the system is cloud-based users can log in from any device with a web browser.
