Block & Estate Management
Block & Residential Management is our core business and we have established a reputation for being professional, reliable, and proactive, whilst at the same time adopting a flexible approach to the properties under our management.
Block management is a specialised area within property management, focusing on the comprehensive care of residential blocks. This includes everything from routine maintenance and financial oversight to ensuring legal compliance, all with the aim of maximising the investment for property owners.
Located in central Manchester, Northmode specialises in simplifying estate and block management throughout the Northwest UK. Our aim is to make the process as straightforward as possible, leveraging our deep understanding of the region to expertly managing properties across Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, Salford and Stockport. We provide custom solutions that address the unique needs of each area.
Committed to delivering cost-effective solutions for residents, lessees, and freeholders, we prioritise transparency in all our dealings. This ensures that every block under our management is handled with clarity and trust.
What sets Northmode apart is our approach—we aim to be a partner, not just a service provider. We understand that every block has unique needs, so we tailor our management style accordingly, offering the flexibility and personal touch that each property deserves.
We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with residents, as demonstrated by our work across many of our sites in the Northwest. These relationships, built on trust and rapport, are a key value we offer to all those we work with.
What do we do that is different and better?
It’s simple: we manage your property as if it were our own.
With our proactive approach, landlords and property owners can feel confident and at ease, knowing their property is being expertly managed and well cared for every step of the way.
1. Personalised Service
We understand the unique needs of every block and our approach is not one-size-fits-all; instead, we pride ourselves on offering tailored solutions to address the specific requirements of your block.
2. Rapid Response Times
Delays can cost time and money and lead to huge frustration from a property owner’s perspective, so we carefully measure our response times, whether it’s to answer an email or phone call from a property owner or leaseholder, or the time it takes to respond to a maintenance problem. We work to high standards in our block management service and want to nip problems in the bud before they get bigger and more expensive.
3. Pro-active Maintenance and Account Management
As part of our routine management, site inspections are a part of everyday life for us and helps to keep an eye out for things that might become problems in the future and help budget appropriately. It’s how we get to know your block inside and out.
It’s just a standard part of good building and facilities management.
4. Cost-Effective Services and Transparent Communication
We prioritise cost-effectiveness without compromising the quality in services. Additionally, we understand the significance of clear and transparent communication and why it is our priority for concerns to be heard and addressed promptly.
5. We expertly manage and protect your finances
We spend your money carefully, as if it were ours. So, we set credible budgets, and always look for best value for money in our expenditure. We have a reliable roster of quality contractors and workmen who provide a good, value-for-money service.
In addition, service charge funds are held in separate interest-bearing accounts and are verified annually by an external accountant.
6. Out of Hours Support
Northmode provides an out of hours 24-hour support helpline to all of our sites. This commitment to availability reflects our dedication to providing support to our clients, contributing to the peace of mind of residents.
