When do you need a Block management?
This service is needed by freeholders, developers, or Resident Management Companies (RMCs) who own or oversee residential blocks of flats. It's crucial for effective management of communal areas, services, and leaseholder obligations.
What happens on the day
On-site activities include regular property inspections, overseeing maintenance works by contractors, and meeting with residents or board members. Most work is administrative, managing finances, legal matters, and communication from an office.
How to prepare
- Provide full details of the property, including site plans.
- Supply current lease agreements and past service charge accounts.
- Outline any existing maintenance contracts or ongoing issues.
- Provide details of the freeholder or RMC directors.
- Be clear about your expectations and communication preferences.
How to improve your result
- Maintain clear communication channels between residents, the RMC/freeholder, and the block manager.
- Regularly review the management agreement and service level agreements.
- Encourage residents to report issues promptly to the management company.
Why it is useful day to day
Professional block management maintains property values, ensures compliance with legal requirements, and provides a harmonious living environment for residents, taking the burden off freeholders and RMCs.
Why we ask these questions
We ask about the number of flats as this directly impacts the scale of management required, from service charge collection to maintenance planning. Knowing the property layout helps us assess the complexity of communal areas and associated management tasks.
