What is Block Management?

Block management is where a property manager (or 'managing agent') 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).

There are a few different terms for block management in the residential property management industry. You may sometimes hear it referred to as 'flat management', 'estate management', or 'leasehold management'.

Why Do I Need a Block Management Company?

Successfully managing a block of flats requires a professional and dedicated approach to residential property management. 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.

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 and keep everything running smoothly.
