One of the highest rated managing agents in Manchester is looking for a customer focused person to join our block management department as a Property Manager, looking after buildings and estates in the Manchester area. Our aim is to be the best agent, not the biggest, and to keep workloads manageable to ensure that an excellent service can be delivered unlike our competitors. How are we genuinely different to the rest Firstly, portfolios are typically around units, compared to elsewhere. Secondly, we aren't owned by a developer or have multiple shareholders to please, allowing service quality to be put first. Thirdly, support is on hand from senior team members at all times, which is so important when legislation and guidance is constantly changing. You'd be joining a team of 30 at present, which grows regularly and totals 45 across the company. The ideal candidate would already be working as a Block Property Manager looking for a more rewarding role, however, we also invite applications from those working in lettings management, facilities management or block management assistant roles looking to further their career, offering much more responsibility and challenges than lettings as you'll be looking after whole blocks of apartments and estates, not just singular properties. Those with considerable (5+ years) block property management experience will be considered for fast-track progression to a Senior Property Manager role, where the salary ranges from £40,000 £49,000 per year. We aren t a huge corporate, faceless agent customer service, being proactive and just getting the job done is what sets us out from our competitors. The daily duties would include, but not be limited to: Overseeing the smooth running of your portfolio taking calls, handling enquiries and arranging call outs with contractors. Keeping residents updated, either personally or via our bulk message platform. Working with clients to set plans for future improvements/maintenance, obtaining quotes and setting a budget to suit. Assisting with budget and financial control checking expenditure and identifying debtors, using our very user-friendly system. Visiting and inspecting some of our developments you'd likely have a couple to look after directly, which will increase with experience. Helping to provide updates to clients informing them of issues and what our plans/recommendations are. Identifying potential new business, noting down developments that look unloved, and where we may be able to assist. A relevant qualification would be beneficial but not essential. We would support you in attaining TPI accreditation and provide ongoing training. Other ideal traits are: Basic knowledge of financial administration (service charge accounting). Effective numeracy and data entry skills. Excellent interpersonal skills. Ability to maintain a high level of accuracy. Ability to meet deadlines and grasp the urgency of departmental activities. Excellent problem-solving skills. Personal Skills/Attributes: Maintaining strict confidentiality. Demonstrate sound work ethics. Flexibility. Be assertive and dynamic. Be deadline driven. Maintaining relationships with all stakeholders. Can work independently. Problem analysis and solving. Professionalism. Fast learner. Full driving licence. Working Hours This role is full-time, 9am 5.30pm, plus occasional late working to attend meetings, where time off in lieu is taken. The position is primarily office based but home working (1 2 days per week) is available if needed. Salary We operate an experienced based salary banding system, linked with portfolio size and complexity. The salary range is between £30,000 £45,000 depending on experience and portfolio size, i.e. someone with no block management experience would be starting on circa £30,000pa. Career Progression Our team grows every few months due to new business being won regularly, meaning progression is real and we prefer to promote from within.
