Block Management

Reed Block Management are specialists in Long leasehold and Freehold Management with over 25 years of experience in managing buildings. We believe that the role of a managing agent is a complex one which requires a professional, experienced approach.

It is essential that agents that take care of your building do so with knowledge of landlord and tenant law, building construction, health and safety regulations, extensive accounting and more.

We also believe that efficient and effective block management can make a huge difference to those that live in the building and we pride ourselves on getting tasks completed in a timely manner, using professional and qualified contractors and at a competitive price.
