WHAT IS BLOCK PROPERTY MANAGEMENT?

Block property management involves managing residential blocks on behalf of Residents’ Flat Management Companies (RMCs) or the freeholders. The services are provided in exchange for service charges paid by the leaseholders. RMCs and freeholders in Essex normally appoint a local property manager like Hair & Son to provide the services and collect the service charges.

The property management company will ensure that all the communal areas are consistently maintained. This involves hiring contractors to carry out cleaning, gardening and repairs of gates, lifts, and lighting. Contractors should work effectively as well as being value for money. Block management services tend to be quite in-depth, making them incredibly useful for property owners.
