About Block
Experienced, accredited property managers committed to transparency, reliability, and exceptional service for every building we manage.
Our Story
Block was founded with a clear purpose: to raise the standard of block management across the United Kingdom. Based at 274 Manchester Road, Audenshaw, Manchester, we have grown from a specialist local practice into a trusted national provider, serving residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments of every size.
Our founders recognised that too many buildings were being poorly managed by agents who lacked transparency, responsiveness, and genuine expertise. They set out to build a property management company that did things differently – one that would put the interests of residents and building owners first, communicate openly and honestly, and deliver a level of service that leaseholders and freeholders could genuinely rely on.
Today, we manage a diverse portfolio of properties across England, Wales, and Scotland. From small period conversions to large new-build developments, every building receives the same dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail that has defined our approach from the very beginning. We remain committed to continuous improvement, investing in our people, our processes, and our technology to deliver the best possible outcomes for every client.
Our Values
Four core values guide every decision we make and every property we manage. They are not just words on a page – they are the principles our team lives by every day.
Transparency
Open, honest communication and clear financial reporting at every stage. Our clients always know where their service charge money is going and what is happening with their property. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Reliability
When we say we will do something, we do it. Our clients depend on us to deliver consistent, dependable property management service day in, day out. We take accountability seriously and always follow through on our commitments.
Expertise
Our team brings years of specialist knowledge in block management, property law, building maintenance, and financial administration. We stay current with legislation and industry best practice to protect our clients' interests.
Communication
Effective block management starts with listening. We maintain clear, regular communication with all stakeholders, ensuring leaseholders, freeholders, and residents are kept informed and their concerns are addressed promptly.
Our Team
Behind every well-managed building is a team of skilled professionals. Our property management team, financial administrators, and maintenance coordinators work together to deliver a seamless service that our clients can depend on.
Dedicated Property Managers
Each development is assigned a named managing agent who acts as your single point of contact for all building matters. They know your building inside out and are always on hand to help.
Responsive Support Team
Our support team handles day-to-day enquiries, maintenance requests, and emergency situations with speed and professionalism, ensuring nothing falls through the gaps.
Qualified Professionals
Our team holds relevant industry qualifications and undertakes regular professional development to maintain the highest standards of knowledge and competence in leasehold management.
“Our approach combines traditional values of service and reliability with modern efficiency and transparency. We believe that exceptional block management is not just about maintaining buildings – it is about creating communities where people are proud to live and invest.”
