Block management

RTM Companies

A proper managing agent for volunteer directors who need control of the service charge, the contractors and the resident inbox.

We support RTM companies across East London who want a professional managing agent to carry the workload, without losing visibility over what's happening, what's being spent, and what's coming next.

Who it’s for

  • RTM directors carrying too much unpaid coordination themselves.
  • Buildings leaving an unresponsive or opaque agent.
  • Resident-led companies who want clearer standards without bloated email chains.

What’s included

  • Building operations and issue routing.
  • Service-charge administration with proper reporting.
  • Director communication with clear approval thresholds.
  • Compliance tracking and contractor administration.

Sits outside the brief

  • Specialist legal advice, tribunal work or company secretarial duties, unless agreed separately.
  • Surveying, major works consultancy or reserve-fund strategy outside the agreed brief.
  • Historic disputes that need specialist legal handling.

What the proposal sets out

  • The proposal sets inspection rhythm, communication cadence, approval thresholds and reporting format.
  • Existing contractors and compliance arrangements are reviewed before they're retained or replaced.
  • Where the handover file is weak, the opening phase focuses on stabilising it before normal cadence begins.
Where buildings go wrong

The recurring problems we’re built to fix

Changing managing agents only helps if the new one actually fixes the underlying problems.

Directors doing unpaid work because the current agent is too reactive.

No clarity on what the service charge is actually funding.

No reliable process for contractors, compliance or resident communication.

How it works

Visible from the start

How we stabilise the building file, reset responsibilities, and start the recurring management rhythm.

Step 1

Review the building and the file

We look at the current contracts, service-charge position, compliance record and live issues before management begins.

Step 2

Reset the operating controls

We agree director approvals, resident communication, contractor rules and escalation points so responsibilities are visible.

Step 3

Run it on a proper rhythm

Day-to-day management moves into a repeatable system rather than directors chasing issues manually.

A closer look at the service

The scope, controls and delivery detail that matter before you appoint anyone.

From claim to live management

RTM companies often arrive with a messy handover, gaps in the building file, and tired directors. We take the building from transition into live management cleanly, resetting contracts, service-charge admin and resident communication so everything is documented.

Directors stay informed, not buried

The point isn't to drown directors in raw email traffic. We keep visibility high while routing day-to-day work, contractor calls and recurring compliance through a clear, repeatable structure.
