You get a named block manager with a direct phone number, clear service charge accounts and proactive compliance for your building, from small conversions to high-rise blocks.
Transparent budgeting and service-charge accounting - We prepare annual budgets and forecast expenditure for agreement with directors. Each year we prepare service-charge accounts and provide clear statements.
Insurance procurement and claims support - Block managers must ensure appropriate buildings insurance, liability cover and legal expenses are in place. We work with specialist brokers to obtain competitive quotations and renew policies annually. In the event of a claim, we liaise with insurers and contractors on your behalf.
Residents and leaseholders know exactly who to speak to when they have questions. Effective block management requires clear communication and a central point for maintenance and repair issues.
When your building needs larger projects such as roof replacements or external decorations, we act as project managers. We handle tendering, statutory leaseholder consultations (Section 20) and oversee works to completion.
A block manager must enforce lease terms and provide lease and legislation advice. We ensure residents follow covenants on noise, pets and alterations and help resolve breaches diplomatically. Our knowledge of landlord and tenant legislation means we can guide directors on their obligations and rights.
