Block Management Oldham

Oldham's No 1 Managing agent

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a ' money back guarantee ’.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

Block Management Overview

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.

As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a 'money back guarantee'.

We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

History of Oldham

Oldham, located in Greater Manchester, has a rich industrial heritage that has shaped its real estate and block management sectors. Originally known for its textile mills, Oldham became a key player in the industrial revolution, attracting workers and driving the demand for housing. As the textile industry declined in the latter half of the 20th century, Oldham faced economic challenges, but in recent years, it has seen significant redevelopment. The area’s affordability, coupled with its excellent transport links to Manchester, has made it an appealing destination for real estate investment, driving a rise in both residential and commercial properties. This growth has increased the need for effective block management to oversee and maintain these developments.

In more recent years, Oldham has undergone a revitalization, with new housing developments and mixed-use projects emerging across the town. The real estate market in Oldham has adapted to the changing needs of its residents, from affordable housing to modern apartment complexes. Block management services are now critical to ensuring the smooth operation and upkeep of these properties. As Oldham continues to evolve, its real estate and block management sectors are integral to maintaining the balance between heritage and growth, ensuring that the town remains an attractive place to live and work for years to come.
