Professional residential and commercial property management

Commercial and Residential Block Management in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and all across the UK

Letting and managing your block of flats will involve a lot of work, and although some freeholders/leaseholders may choose to manage the flats themselves, it is important to consider the time and effort this will take and whether you are willing to take on the responsibility of this building management.

Letting and managing residential blocks of flats is complicated and has different legal implications from private individual houses and therefore compliance of the statutory regulations that affect residential block management is essential.

By appointing Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire based Acorn Lettings, you will have the assurance that the quality of service you are provided is of the highest quality as we follow the government approved Service Charge management Code of Practice, which sets out best practice with regards to block management. Under this code, we, as the property's managing agent, are obliged to fulfil a number of duties which range from dealing with contractors and maintenance on the property to preparing agreements and dealing with service charge payments.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for in a good block management company?

Block management is the process of running blocks of flats or apartments. From general building maintenance to the upkeep of communal areas, there are a lot of different things that must be taken care of. A block management company takes care of all of these things, as well as organising payment of management fees from the tenants in the block.

If you're a landlord looking to rent out a block of flats or apartments, investing in a reputable block management company is highly recommended. Whether you're offering residential lettings, commercial lettings, or both, a block management company can make your life much easier. Not only will they shoulder all maintenance and cleaning issues, they can also arrange for insurance on the building and liaise with legal representatives if there are tenant disputes.

How do I find the best block management company?

Whilst there are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to finding the best block management provider, always keep your wits about you. A quick search on the internet should put you in touch with local property management services; from that point on it's up to you. As you would when choosing any other type of service provider, you'll want to properly research the block management companies you find. The list of services will differ from place to place, so keep in mind what kind of building you're responsible for. What sorts of issues do you imagine could come up? For example, if the block you're becoming landlord for has a lot of gardens, you’d be wise to invest in a block management company who have some expertise in gardening.

How much do a block management company's services cost?

Generally speaking a block management company will charge you, the landlord, a retainer fee of some kind for the provision of their services. They then recoup their costs directly from the tenants in the flats or apartments. Some landlords may even choose to absorb this cost into the rent, so bear this in mind when working out a deal with the block management service provider.

Lettings and property management is a vital part of any landlord's role. Good block management is just one small facet of this, but it's also an integral one. If you’re looking for a service provider that ticks every one of these boxes, and plenty more besides, look no further than Acorn Lettings. With expert knowledge in block management, both locally and nationwide, Acorn Lettings offer a property management service which is truly second-to-none.
