Crawley's Property Landscape and What It Means for Block Management
Crawley's origins as a post-war New Town mean its residential stock is dominated by the distinctive neighbourhood system established in the original masterplan. Each neighbourhood, from Ifield and Langley Green to Broadfield and Bewbush, contains its own mix of housing, including low-rise apartment blocks built during the 1950s through to the 1980s that now require careful lifecycle management. The town centre has seen significant regeneration in recent years, with former commercial premises being converted into residential apartments that need specialist property management companies with experience in mixed-use buildings, modern building systems, and shared amenity management.
Crawley's proximity to Gatwick Airport has driven a wave of purpose-built apartment developments aimed at airport workers, commuters, and buy-to-let investors. These Gatwick-linked blocks require responsive maintenance and proactive communal areas upkeep, particularly given the high tenant turnover typical of airport-adjacent housing. The Manor Royal industrial and business area also includes some live/work units and mixed-use developments where commercial and residential obligations must be carefully balanced by any block management company.
Forge Wood, Crawley's newest neighbourhood on the eastern edge of the town, has introduced a substantial number of new-build apartments and houses alongside community facilities. Our Crawley team has direct experience managing all of these property types across the RH postcodes. We maintain strong working relationships with Crawley Borough Council and West Sussex County Council. As your managing agent, we typically achieve contractor response times of 24 to 48 hours for urgent repairs, with planned building maintenance programmes scheduled to minimise disruption to residents. Our knowledge of local planning regulations, New Town neighbourhood design considerations, and building control requirements means your block is always in compliant, capable hands.
“Since switching to Block, the difference in our Three Bridges development has been remarkable. Communication is excellent, the communal areas are always well maintained, and our service charge is finally being managed transparently. They genuinely understand the needs of Crawley residents.”- James R., RMC Director, Three Bridges, Crawley
