With over 30 years of experience in the property industry we understand what it takes to manage residential developments successfully. We provide developers, investors, freeholders and resident managed developments with all of the support and service they need and expect.
Our friendly and professional team are passionate in providing successful day-to-day management in our developments, ensuring the interior and exterior of our buildings are maintained to a high standard as well as planning for improvement where required.
Along with the day-to-day management of developments one of the most important responsibilities of a Residential block managing agent is to ensure that the properties they are managing are compliant with up-to-date Health and Safety regulations.
These responsibilities also apply to Resident Management Companies (RMC), including Right to Manage Companies (RTMC), although if they appoint a reputable block management agent, they should ensure compliance. Health and Safety regulations first and foremost protect the health and safety of the residents living in the property, any visitors to the property, and any persons employed in the property. Due to their nature, it is imperative that they are adhered to and our team at Longbridge Estates along with being partnered with ARMA are always up to date with the latest health and safety obligations and are ready to ensure these duties are carried out.

The best recourse is to speak to your neighbour. Quite often they are not aware of the disturbance caused and will rectify it straight away.
