Estate & Block Management
Estate Management
As your estate management agency we’re here to support your new housing estate needs, ensuring your shared spaces are cared for efficiently. Whether you’re building a:
New build development - for residents of freehold housing estates with shared roads, paths or green spaces
Leasehold flats - for homeowners with communal grounds or shared facilities.
What is estate management?
Estate management involves the upkeep of communal facilities in housing developments, such as shared grounds, roads, and landscaped areas. These services are funded through an estate charge, ensuring the community spaces remain well-maintained and safe for residents. We help you set that up and manage it going forward.
What we do as your managing agent
Maintenance and compliance
We ensure communal grounds are maintained to a high standard and meet health and safety requirements.
Budgeting and transparency
We create an estate charge budget, carefully managing contributions to deliver value and avoid unexpected costs.
Resident liaison
Our team is a local point of contact to help resolve issues, handle repairs, and address concerns.
Contractor management
We liaise with trusted contractors to arrange maintenance, repairs, and ongoing upkeep.
Why is an estate charge needed?
Unlike council-adopted areas, many communal facilities in developments remain privately managed.
The estate charge covers:
