An established and growing property management business is looking for an experienced Block Property Manager to join its Manchester team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone already working within block management who wants to move into a business where service quality, manageable portfolios and genuine support are prioritised.

Unlike many larger operators, portfolio sizes are kept at a sensible level, allowing Property Managers to build strong relationships with residents and clients rather than simply firefighting. You’ll also have experienced senior support available when required, particularly when dealing with more complex matters or changing legislation.

The Role

You’ll take responsibility for managing a portfolio of residential developments across the Manchester area, ensuring buildings and estates are well maintained and clients and residents receive a responsive, proactive service.

Your responsibilities will include

Managing the day-to-day running of a residential property portfolio

Responding to resident and client enquiries

Liaising with contractors and arranging maintenance and call-outs

Keeping residents updated regarding works, repairs and development matters

Working with clients to plan future maintenance and improvement projects

Obtaining contractor quotations and assisting with budget planning

Monitoring expenditure, service charge information and outstanding payments

Carrying out regular development and site inspections

Providing clients with updates, recommendations and solutions to ongoing issues

Identifying opportunities where the business may be able to support additional developments

Building strong relationships with leaseholders, residents, contractors and other stakeholders

Career Progression

This is a growing business with a strong preference for developing and promoting people internally.

Experienced Property Managers will have the opportunity to progress into senior positions as the business and their portfolio responsibilities grow.

Candidates with significant block management experience may also be considered for progression towards a Senior Property Manager position, with salaries potentially reaching £49,000 depending on experience and responsibility.

Benefits

Salary of £34,000 – £40,000 depending on experience
