Block Property Management Services

Our Services

We manage every square metre of your block with systems that keep the asset performing and residents satisfied. Below is a breakdown of our services, developed for freeholders, developers, and leaseholder groups.

Service Charge Budgeting and Collection

We take the emotion and delays out of service charge management. From initial budgeting to full-cycle collection and reconciliation, our accountants align forecasts with actuals, improving cost transparency and payment performance. We use detailed historic cost analysis, benchmark rates, and RICS-compliant frameworks.

Why it matters: Poor budgeting can lead to £20,000+ shortfalls annually on mid-size blocks. We help prevent this.

Lease Compliance and Enforcement

Enforcing lease terms requires more than issuing reminders—it involves legal interpretation, court-ready documentation, and timing. Our compliance team manages breaches and disputes under Landlord and Tenant Act protocols, resolving over 85% of cases without litigation.

Why it matters: Non-compliance leads to loss of control and higher legal costs. We keep your lease terms enforceable and respected.

Contractor Management and Tendering

Every third-party quote we evaluate undergoes procurement analysis, scope verification, and insurance checks. Whether it’s a £1,200 lift inspection or £150,000 roof renewal, we control cost variance and monitor SLAs. All tenders follow competitive pricing structures backed by our contractor database.

Why it matters: Poor contractor selection can cost 35% more over 5 years. We cut that down with our vetted supplier network.

Contractor Management and Tendering

Insurance Arrangement and Claims

Our brokers assess rebuild costs, cover types, and premium structures using actuarial tools. From insuring communal facilities to handling escape-of-water claims, we manage the full cycle, often recovering costs within 4–6 weeks on valid claims.

Why it matters: Misaligned cover can leave leaseholders exposed or lead to premium hikes post-claim. We prevent those blind spots.

Resident Communications and Dispute Resolution

We operate resident portals, AGM coordination, and direct response lines. Our trained coordinators handle complaints, manage queries, and maintain logs—all aligned with Section 20 consultations and GDPR standards.

Why it matters: Poor comms results in escalated tensions. We process over 2,000 resident queries per year with a 92% satisfaction rate.

Planned Maintenance and Capital Works

We produce 5-year and 10-year maintenance forecasts and manage capital improvements using lifecycle costing tools. Whether it’s external redecoration or M&E upgrades, every project has a programme, budget, and client sign-off process.

Why it matters: Deferred works increase long-term cost exposure by 30–60%. Our planning removes that drag.

Planned Maintenance and Capital Works

Health and Safety Compliance

We manage FRA updates, asbestos re-inspections, lift LOLERs, and communal area risk assessments. Every inspection has a logged remedial tracker, ensuring compliance with HSE, RICS, and ARMA-Q standards.

Why it matters: H&S non-compliance can lead to fines up to £20,000 per breach. We close those exposure gaps fast.

Company Secretarial and RTM Services

We manage RTM transitions, company filings, and director support. Our team ensures that filing deadlines are met, AGMs are organised, and statutory books are maintained under the Companies Act 2006.

Why it matters: Non-compliance with statutory duties can invalidate decisions. We keep you aligned and operational.
