What is block management?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

As the UK\u2019s leading residential block management company, we\u2019re experts at managing large, complex residential blocks, as well as small or specialised estates, such as later living developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Our block management service encompasses the entirety of your block, from gardens and communal areas to fire safety and the management of on-site staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Block management is where a property manager (or \u2018managing agent\u2019) cares for the communal areas (both inside and outside) of residential blocks of flats or apartment buildings on behalf of a landlord, developer, Resident Management Company (RMC), or Right to Manage Company (RTM). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few different terms for block management in the residential property management industry. You may sometimes hear it referred to as \u2018flat management\u2019, \u2018estate management\u2019, or \u2018leasehold management\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why do I need a block management company? <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Successfully managing a block of flats requires a professional and dedicated approach to residential property management<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

It also calls for a good working knowledge of a broad range of practices, such as landlord and tenant law, facilities management, health and safety regulations and building safety, to name just a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From overseeing the maintenance of the building and managing the service charge budget and accounts, to ensuring compliance with all management and legal obligations, it can be time-consuming. A dedicated residential block management company can help lighten the load, keep everything running smoothly, and give you and all residents peace of mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
