How are service charges calculated and managed?

Service charges are calculated based on the anticipated cost of running the building for the coming year, plus contributions to a reserve fund for major works. A well-run block manager prepares a transparent annual budget, issues demands in compliance with lease requirements, accounts for all expenditure, and provides year-end accounts. Service charges must be reasonable and properly consulted on for major works above the Section 20 threshold.

Can we switch block managers mid-lease?

Yes — residents' management companies and RTM companies can change their block manager at any time by following the termination provisions in the management agreement. A professional handover involves transfer of all financial records, maintenance contracts, compliance certificates, and leaseholder contact details. We can match you with specialists experienced in taking over from underperforming managing agents.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“I'd been self-managing my two Stanmore properties for years and it was becoming unmanageable alongside my day job. The agent they matched me with took over both within a fortnight — professional, responsive, and my void periods have actually gone down since.”

Rajesh M

Stanmore · Residential Lettings Management

“After a difficult tenancy that cost me several months of arrears, I needed to be confident in who was moving in. The referencing was thorough and transparent — I felt properly informed before agreeing to anyone. We're now eight months in with no issues.”
