Over the past few years Block Management has become more popular in the property industry. A knowledgeable and conscientious strategy is key to successfully managing a complex of apartments.

There are many areas that your property manager can help you, here are a few key ones.

General maintenance

In addition to general cleaning, block property managers handle regular common area upkeep tasks like painting, gardening, and decorating. Depending on your agreement, your property manager may also maintain stairs and parking areas.

Health and Safety

It is vital that that your property complies with current UK building laws and legislations, block managers will ensure all elements are taken into account and are compliant. All required routine safety inspections, including those for fire safety, gas safety, asbestos testing, electrical safety and lift upkeep, will be coordinated by the manager.

Budgeting

It is important to know if an emergency arises to your block you have it covered! A budget will be put into place by your property managers to not only have funds available for the general maintenance but also any unexpected issues that may occur in the future. Your property managers will also review any contracts for major work to ensure no supplemental fees are being added and that funds are being used efficiently.

Insurance

Service charge payments, that go toward the property’s total building insurance, will be collected by the block managers. They will also give insurance companies the required details about the tenants living in the building and any owner-occupied apartments.
