Can't Afford a Managing Agent

We provide the tools and infrastructure to keep you
safe and abreast of key
processes.

"When a block is small or an estate has few shared services self managing could be an option. It takes a Board or Director who is willing to get involved in the nitty gritty stuff."

garden lands too

BlockCare 300

BlockCare 300 is like a low cost Managing Agent. A package where you are the manager, and we take care of all the financial and legal admin to support you.

You set the budget and arrange any repairs. We manage the service charge demands, collect and banking, the money prepare the service charge accounts and deal with Companies House.

Normally a managing agent's minimum fee is too expensive for small blocks and small housing estates, so, we stripped services back to the essentials, starting from £630 per year, with extras available on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Get BlockCare 300

Small blocks of flats block management needs

  • Service charge demands
  • Arrears collected
  • Banking done & bank account reconciled
  • Bills paid
  • Service charge accounts
  • Confirmation statements filed
  • Company accounts fililed
  • Sales paperwork when a property sells

BlockCare 300

BlockCare 300 adds value for small blocks of flats or private housing estates. Our role is to manage the accounting and administration. We do need at least 1 Director to logon and set the budget (so we can send the demands out, collect the money and put it in a Client account just your site). Demands will be legally compliant.

We’ll deal with Companies House and prepare the year end service charge accounts (from the demands we’ve issued, the money we’ve collected and the expenses posted on-line). Again this keeps you compliant with Sections 21-28 of the 1987 Landlord & Tenant Act. There are fail safe mechanisms in place, for example if nobody sends us a budget we’ll increase last years by 10% until you do so. Naturally this is only after email reminders chasing you.

BlockCare 300 is NOT a ‘fully managed’ service; you don’t get a Property Manager as the management decisions are undertaken by the Directors who are the Responsible Person. We fulfil the accounting and administrative functions to keep everything working like clockwork and protect you from rookie or schoolboy errors. See below who will be doing what.
