From city-centre towers to suburban blocks
Greater Manchester has more variety in its apartment buildings than almost anywhere else in the UK:
- Manchester and Salford city-centre developments: larger, taller blocks with lifts, concierge areas, car parks and complex shared plant.
- Higher-risk buildings: blocks of 18 metres or more (or at least seven storeys) with two or more homes come under the Building Safety Act 2022 and have extra registration, safety case and resident engagement duties.
- Low-rise blocks of the 1960s and 70s in towns like Stockport, Bolton, Oldham and Wigan, which often need careful planning for roofs, windows and communal areas.
- Converted houses and mills across the region, split into a handful of flats.
We match the level of management to the building, whether that’s a four-flat conversion or a large city-centre block.
What we do for your building
- Service charges: transparent budgets, annual accounts and firm but fair collection.
- Repairs: residents report repairs online and we send vetted contractors, keep residents updated and follow up until the job is done.
- Planned maintenance and reserve funds: long-term plans for lifts, roofs, decoration and plant, so costs are spread sensibly.
- Building safety and compliance: fire risk assessments, fire door checks, emergency lighting, asbestos and legionella management, and insurance. For taller buildings we help with the extra duties that apply to higher-risk buildings.
- Section 20 consultations for qualifying works, carried out correctly.
- Resident communication: one point of contact for leaseholders and tenants.

Why Manchester block owners choose us
Owners tell us their biggest frustrations with managing agents are slow repairs, unexplained service charges and calls that never get returned. We work the other way round: clear figures, proactive maintenance and a dedicated property manager who answers. We use vetted contractors and stay up to date with building safety and leasehold law.
Changing your managing agent
If your current agent isn’t delivering, we can take over. We review the lease and accounts, agree a handover date, collect funds and records from the outgoing agent and introduce ourselves to residents, so the change is smooth for everyone.
