The Reality of Block Management

These are the challenges facing residential blocks across the Isle of Man

📋 "Lost in Spreadsheets"

Service charges tracked in Excel. Documents scattered across emails. No audit trail. Directors spending hours on admin.

⚖️ "Compliance Nightmare"

Missing Companies Registry deadlines. No AGM minutes. Insurance certificates expired. One audit away from serious problems.

💰 "Arrears Crisis"

Residents not paying service charges. No proper arrears process. Directors uncomfortable chasing friends and neighbours.

🔧 "Maintenance Chaos"

Emergency repairs happening but no record. Contractors chosen randomly. No planned maintenance. Reserve fund depleting.

😤 "Resident Complaints"

Lack of communication breeds frustration. Residents don't understand where their money goes. Directors burning out.

📉 "Professional Required"

Block has grown beyond volunteer management. Need professional help but can't afford big management companies.

Common Questions

What size blocks do you work with?

We work with residential blocks from 4 to 20 units. Smaller blocks (4-8 units) typically use Block Manager Lite or consulting services. Larger blocks (8-20 units) benefit from Block Manager Pro or full management services.

How quickly can you start?

Full management can start within 1-2 weeks of agreement. Turnaround consulting typically begins within 2 weeks. Software implementation takes 4-8 weeks from order to go-live, including data migration.

Can you rescue a block in serious trouble?

Yes—this is exactly what our turnaround consulting is designed for. We've successfully rescued blocks with missing compliance, financial chaos, and director burnout. See the Ammco Management case study for a real example.

What happens to our existing data?

We migrate all your existing data—service charge records, resident details, documents, maintenance history. If it's in spreadsheets, emails, or paper files, we'll digitise and organise it properly.

Do you handle arrears recovery?

Yes. Full management includes arrears management. The Arrears Recovery software module automates reminders and tracking. We can also provide consulting on setting up proper arrears processes.

Are you regulated for property management?

The Isle of Man does not currently require specific licencing for residential block management agents. However, we maintain professional standards including proper client money handling, insurance, and compliance with Companies Registry requirements.

Can we switch from our current managing agent?

Absolutely. We can take over from an existing managing agent or help you transition from volunteer management to professional management. We'll handle the transition smoothly with minimal disruption.
