Know Your Needs First

Before you start looking for a block management company, it is important to assess your specific needs. You should consider factors such as property size, the number of flats and types of services required.

Having a clear understanding of your needs helps you to identify a managing agent that can meet those requirements.

Experience in Residential Block Management

Block management is a specialised field and requires unique responsibilities. Look for a company with a proven track record managing developments like yours in terms of size, age and complexity.

An experienced managing agent is more likely to anticipate challenges before they become costly issues and can offer practical solutions.

Communication is Key

Poor communication is one of the most common reasons residents and directors become dissatisfied with a managing agent. Residents want to know that their concerns are being heard and addressed.

Residents want to know their concerns are heard and being addressed, and directors require accurate information to make the right decisions. A good block management company should:

  • A dedicated property manager
  • Clear points of contact
  • Prompt responses to enquiries
  • Regular management reports
  • Updates on maintenance projects

Review the Services Offered

Different block management companies offer different levels of service. You should ensure the managing agent you choose provides the specific services you need for your block.

A comprehensive service package that addresses all aspects of block management ensures your property is well-taken care of.
