Block management in Croydon and South London
Block management. Done right.

Who we work for
Built for the people who run the building
Most of our directors are volunteers with full-time jobs. Our job is to take the day-to-day off their hands and give them what they need to decide the rest.
RTM companies
You took control of your building. We give you the systems, reporting and site presence to run it properly.
Resident management companies
We handle contractors, finances and compliance so the board can focus on decisions, not admin.
Freeholders and landlords
Professional management of your residential block, with service charges handled correctly and safety obligations met.
Services
Everything your building needs, managed in one place
Block management
Monthly inspections, contractors, cleaning and day-to-day running of the building, with one named manager.

Switching is simpler than most boards expect
Most switches take one to three months, set by your current agent's notice period. We run the handover. Residents notice only that things get answered.
Talk to us
We meet the directors, walk the building and look at your current agreement.
Proposal
A written proposal with our fee, what is included and a handover plan.
Notice and handover
You serve notice. We collect the accounts, contracts and safety records from the outgoing agent.
1 to 3 monthsManaged
Client accounts open, residents are told who to contact, and we inspect the building in the first week.
What residents say
Noticed from the first week
Genuinely good and professional service provided to our building, a massive step change compared to the previous management company.
Great to see Saif on site today doing a thorough inspection of the building. In almost 10 years here, I don't recall ever running into anyone from the previous managing agents doing this.
