Medway's Property Landscape and What It Means for Block Management
Medway's transformation from a naval and industrial hub into a vibrant residential area has produced an exceptionally varied property stock. The historic Chatham Dockyard has been partially converted into residential apartments within Grade II listed buildings, demanding managing agents who understand heritage building obligations and conservation area requirements. Rochester's medieval high street and surrounding areas contain period properties subdivided into flats where ageing fabric, shared drainage, and listed building constraints present ongoing management challenges.
The Medway riverfront has seen significant new-build development, bringing modern apartment blocks with communal facilities, underground parking, and energy-efficient building systems. These developments require property management companies experienced in managing modern amenities alongside regulatory compliance. The expansion of the Universities at Medway campus has also driven demand for purpose-built student and private rental accommodation in Chatham and Gillingham, where responsive reactive maintenance and proactive communal areas upkeep are essential.
As your block management company, we bring direct experience across all Medway property types. We maintain strong relationships with Medway Council and local contractors, typically achieving 24 to 48-hour response times for urgent repairs. Our planned building maintenance programmes are tailored to each development, from heritage-sensitive repair schedules for dockyard conversions to modern preventive maintenance for new-build blocks.
“We switched to Block for our converted dockyard building in Chatham, and the improvement has been outstanding. The communal areas are immaculate, our service charge is managed transparently, and they understand the unique challenges of historic buildings in Medway.”- David L., RMC Director, Chatham, Medway
