What is block management?

Block management typically concerns itself with managing purpose-built or converted blocks of flats on behalf of the Resident Management Companies (RMC), freeholders, landlords or developers.

The role includes functions such as routine maintenance namely cleaning and gardening, maintaining lighting, carrying emergency repairs and general property upkeep. Block management can also include dispute resolution, boundary issues, noise and parking issues.

The role of a property management company is to represent the needs of the RMC, freeholder or developer but also fairly represent the residents.

We seek to work with RMCs, landlords and residents to ensure a safe, well-maintained, happy place to live.

Typical services can include:

  • Maintenance and cleaning of internal communal areas
  • Maintenance of external spaces
  • Gardening and ground maintenance
  • Emergency repairs
  • Management of facilities such as fire alarms, emergency lighting and gates
  • Maintenance of access roads, parking and signage
  • Arranging and tendering for major works such as external/internal redecoration

Block management also includes the preparation of budgets, collection of service charges and ground rent (if applicable) on behalf of the client and freeholder.

What Clients Say...

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all at Red Brick Management, not only have you been first class in understanding our needs you've also been a pleasure to work with.
We Directors sat and had a meeting about the development last night and the guys are extremely happy with how Red Brick are managing the development. In particular, the lowering of service charges and quick response times which were the two issues we had with our former managing agent!
Well done that is a great result and sets a precedent for any further monies that may be due. thank you very much indeed for a great job on our behalf.
We were unimpressed with our previous management company and decided to give Red Brick a trial period with strict targets to meet - relating to response times, costings, and general maintenance of the development of 238 apartments.

We remind property owners and tenants about problems caused in leaving properties unheated in cold spells, especially empty properties.
