London Block Management

Tailored block and estate management solution

It is rare these days to find really good block management. Perhaps that's because it demands skill, experience and a different attitude. Good management is about making life better for residents through planning and understanding how a building works. It's about a true sense of service, aiming to solve any issue, however small, immediately. Fundamentally, it's about protecting and enhancing your asset.

If you aren't seeing those qualities from your current management company, we would like to hear from you. At Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices London Kay & Co | Marler & Marler we bring an entirely fresh approach with new thinking, methods and technologies. As a specialist company offering a bespoke range of block management services rather than a 'one size fits all' solution, we demonstrate time and again that family values are at our core.

We care with a passion about our clients and delivering a first-class service. When you have a problem, you want to know that someone is dealing with it and that they won't stop until the job is done. That's what we do, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year.

We are members of the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA) and are proud holders of their ARMA-Q accreditation, the gold standard for residential leasehold management. We are also winners of the ARMA Smaller Managing Agent of the Year Award 2018.

We are entrusted with more than 1,000,000 square feet of prime London residential space, and we collect rent and service charges in excess of £10,000,000 every year. Our clients include high-end developments that require VIP services and discretion for tenants.

Our Block Management department is made up of a dedicated team of professionals who are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in order to meet your needs.
