Block Property Manager

Location: Eastbourne
Salary: £40,000 - £50,000 + (DOE)
Flexibility: Primarily office-based, but flexible for the right candidate (2-days from home, 3 in the office)
Sector: Residential Block Management

We're working exclusively with a growing, independently owned block management firm based in East Sussex. Established over a decade ago and recently expanding into the residential sector, the business has experienced 60% growth year on year, driven by reputation, high quality service, and minimal outbound business development.

With a portfolio of mid to large size blocks (25-195 units), they focus on delivering a premium service over volume. Their portfolio is currently based in the Southeast and expanding into Greater London. The internal team is collaborative and close knit, and the business is led by two directors who bring together a strong mix of technical, financial, and service expertise.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing a tailored portfolio of residential blocks (number and complexity based on experience)
• Liaising with freeholders, leaseholders, and residents
• Organising and overseeing repairs, maintenance, compliance, and service charge budgeting
• Managing onboarding of new sites and supporting transitions
• Acting as a key point of contact for clients, delivering consistently high levels of service

What They're Looking For

The company is looking for committed, self sufficient professionals who want to be part of something long term. They're open minded on experience level, but they do place a premium on attitude, accountability, and emotional intelligence.

Ideal candidate qualities:

• Strong organisational skills and common sense
• Able to self manage and work proactively
• Willing to take responsibility and own mistakes
• Comfortable saying "no" when necessary
• Emotionally resilient and client focused
• ATPI qualification is a requirement or willingness to obtain it
• Minimum 2 years experience working as a Block Manager within the sector

Culture & Working Environment

The business offers a rare mix of established structure and start up energy in their residential block division.

• A supportive, team first culture
• Down to earth leadership with clear goals
• No micromanagement, just trust and accountability
• A strong commitment to employee growth and long term development
• Office based working preferred, but willing to be flexible for the right hire
