Expert Block Management in London

Thinking of Changing Your Managing Agent? Here Are the Top 5 Tips You Need to Know

Are you searching for a block management agent in London who gets things done? At Uniq Block Management, we specialise in delivering efficient, transparent, and hands-on block management services across London and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re a Residents’ Management Company (RMC), freeholder, or landlord, we understand the frustration of poor communication, slow maintenance, and spiralling costs from your current agent.

To help you make the switch smoothly, here are the Top 5 Tips for Moving to a New Managing Agent, shared by our experienced team, which has overseen transitions for blocks of all sizes.

1. Review Your Current Contract and Termination Clause

Before initiating the change, carefully check your current agent’s agreement. Most contracts include a termination notice period—typically between 1 and 3 months. You’ll also want to know about any penalties or requirements, like submitting written notice or board approval.

Pro Tip: A professional managing agent will support you through this process and provide a clear roadmap for switching.

2. Understand the Needs of Your Block

Take stock of what your building needs. Is it better maintenance response times, transparent service charges, or clear communication with residents? Knowing these priorities will help you choose a new agent who can deliver where others have failed.

At Uniq Block Management, our director personally oversees each property’s performance. That means fast issue resolution, clear updates, and zero red tape.

3. Ask the Right Questions When Shortlisting New Agents

When searching for a new managing agent, don’t just go by the gloss of their website. Ask practical, performance-based questions:

• How many blocks do you manage—and what sizes?
• Can we speak to some of your existing clients?
• What’s your average response time for maintenance issues?
• Do you provide regular financial reporting?

Uniq Block Management prides itself on a low portfolio-per-manager ratio, so we can give your block the attention it deserves.

4. Get Clear on Costs and Services

Don’t get caught out by unclear pricing. Ensure you get a fully itemised quote covering core services (service charge collection, contractor liaison, compliance checks) and additional fees (e.g., significant works supervision or legal notices).

Our pricing model at Uniq is simple, transparent, and value-driven. You know exactly what you’re paying for—there are no hidden fees or surprises.

5. Ensure a Smooth Handover with a Transition Plan

Once you appoint your new agent, you must hand over documentation, service contracts, and financial records. A good agent will help facilitate this with a transition timeline, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks—especially urgent maintenance or compliance requirements.

At Uniq Block Management, we provide a dedicated transition manager to oversee your changeover and keep everyone—from leaseholders to contractors—fully informed.
