Experienced block and estate management

Drawing on more than 80 years of experience across the property industry, Andrews provides professional block, estate and leasehold property management backed by specialist knowledge from across the wider Andrews Group.

We currently manage more than 100 developments across the UK, ranging from smaller blocks to developments of up to 300 units. Every development has a dedicated property manager as a main point of contact, supported by our wider team and an emergency service for issues that arise outside normal working hours.

Our online My Blockman portal also gives clients and leaseholders convenient access to important information, updates and communication relating to their development.
