Block management involves us at ABC looking after every aspect of a block of flats, apartments or properties from A – Z. Block management means taking care of the service charge collections, insurance policies, property maintenance and repairs; both proactively and reactively, service charge arrears, cleaning services and much more.
Rather than having to do all of the work yourself, using a credible company such as ABC Estates means you will have time to focus on what you need to, rather than having to contend with the finer details involved with managing the freehold of your development. With block management from ABC, you can be sure that you will receive the full package, with our team having decades of experience in maintaining the very highest standards.
Our block managers take to heart the interests of not only the landlord and owner of the block, but the interests of the leaseholders living there, allowing all parties involved to relax. We will collect the ground-rent and service charges from all of the leaseholders and will chase up those that are late to pay, saving you the time, effort and money of having to do so yourself.
We also have a dedicated team of solicitors on hand, should any leaseholders not pay their ground-rent or service charges.
When we say that we take care of everything we mean just that. Whether your block has many flats or perhaps just a few, we will ensure that the property and its communal areas are spotless, we will ensure that the gardens are kept clean and tidy and we will make sure that any neighbour disputes are resolved to all parties’ satisfaction, saving you the headache of endless phone calls from leaseholders.
Our block management team always keep track of all the monetary matters. They will keep accurate, up to date records on who has paid and how much, who owes what and how much money is left over after all the service charges have been paid. We will even provide you with regular reports on the property and its current state.
While many other companies who offer block management charge the landlord for each strand of service they provide, ABC are very different. Rather than charging you for each and everything we do for your property, we include all the day to day management issues in the amount you pay.
Also, unlike many others, we are able to apply our extensive knowledge, industry knowhow and experience to all areas across Greater London and beyond. Through decades of providing high levels of service and block management, our dedicated team are just what you need.
Furthermore, we know that unexpected things happen. That is why your block will get its own dedicated block manager who will be your point of contact and will be responsible for overseeing the smooth running and maintenance of your block. Moreover, unlike other management companies who are unavailable outside of office hours, we are contactable 24/7 and there will always be a block manager on hand for you, even during holiday times.

Advantages of Residential Block Management
In times gone by, a landlord would have to do each and every job involved in the running and upkeep of a busy, sometimes very large block of flats. This entailed endless hours of paperwork, running around to collect money and dealing with workmen and maintenance staff.
Upon being instructed to act for you, ABC’s block management services will allow the landlord to focus on other projects and matters, while we take care of the rest. This amounts to far less hassle and bother and allows the block to be managed by a team of experts rather than one or two people alone.
At ABC Estates, we have a well-trained team of block managers who take the responsibility of looking after a landlord’s block of properties very seriously.
Saving you the time of having to go around and identify potential problems, repairs and what needs cleaning, our team will efficiently manage everything. We will even take care of the sometimes tedious and confusing paperwork such as arranging the correct levels of public liability insurance, buildings insurance and plant insurance at no extra cost. Our team will also deal with all of the complaints, queries and concerns of the leaseholders, so you don’t have to.
All of the services we provide will provide you as the landlord with a much safer investment in the block you own, while ensuring that all of the tenants are kept happy and comfortable.
Our team take the safety of the tenants very seriously too and will implement all health and safety regulations and fire safety laws, ensuring the block provides the safest living conditions possible.
Get in touch with us and speak to one of our dedicated team of block managers who will be happy to tell you about how we could make your block’s management that bit more efficient. With ABC Estates you will always receive the high levels of service, professionalism and expertise that we have become renowned for over the years.
Contact us today via telephone on 020 8621 4000, via email at [email protected], or by filling out an online enquiry form and one of our team will be in touch shortly.
We pride ourselves on our combining of modern day knowledge and practices with good old fashioned values. This means that our highly trained agents will be able to instruct and guide you in the best way possible.
We love buildings, but our true business is people and building relationships, that’s why our people know they really can make a difference, one leaseholder at a time. We manage blocks of flats and apartment throughout London, Essex, Kent, Surrey and Sussex and match our people to your property, with you, what needs to be achieved and the relationship you seek in mind.
