Block Management Salford

Salford'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 Salford

Salford, located just to the west of Manchester, has undergone significant transformation in recent years, becoming a prime location for real estate investment and block management. Historically an industrial hub, Salford has evolved into a thriving urban area with a vibrant cultural scene and an expanding housing market. The district benefits from its close proximity to Manchester city centre, excellent transport links, and a growing number of modern residential developments, making it increasingly popular with both homebuyers and investors. With a wide range of property types, from contemporary apartments to traditional terraced homes, Salford offers a dynamic market for those looking to invest in the Greater Manchester area.

Today, Salford remains a key focus for property professionals, particularly those involved in block management and real estate development. The area has seen a substantial amount of regeneration, including the creation of new business districts, leisure facilities, and educational institutions, further enhancing its appeal. As demand for rental properties continues to rise, driven by both students and young professionals, Salford presents strong potential for stable rental yields and long-term capital growth. For block managers, the area's rapid development and diverse property types offer a range of opportunities. With continued investment and regeneration, Salford is set to remain a crucial part of Manchester’s expanding property market.
