Their sites range from traditional housing schemes to large-scale urban regeneration projects, and they manage the freeholder function in-house with a dedicated estate management team. They're known for high standards, a strong customer focus, and a genuine commitment to quality across everything they do.
The role

- Tracking statutory and H&S inspections to ensure they're completed, recorded, and up to date
- Reviewing service charge accounts, budgets, and arrears, and monitoring capex projects
- Handling leaseholder consent applications and managing them through to timely resolution
- Producing estate management reports for the Head of Estate Management and liaising with internal teams across build, sales, and customer service

- ATPI qualified
- At least 3 to 4 years' experience in leasehold property management
