What is block management?
Block management is where a property manager cares for the communal areas (both inside and outside) of residential blocks of flats or apartment buildings on behalf of a landlord or a Resident Management Company (RMC).
There are a few different terms for block management in the 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 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 arranging structural repairs, to overseeing building inspections, to financial accounting and auditing, block management can be time consuming, so a dedicated residential block management company can help to lighten the load and keep everything running smoothly.
