Block and estate management · Essex & East London

Block management in Essex & East London

We manage residential blocks and estates for resident management companies, right to manage companies and freeholders across south Essex and east London. We run our own maintenance teams if you want the speed of an in-house option, and we are happy to work with your existing contractors if you do not. Either way, one point of contact and a straight answer on cost.

RMC Directors

If you are a director of your building's resident management company, the legal responsibility sits with you and it is unpaid work on top of a day job. We take on the running of the block so you are not chasing contractors in the evenings.

RTM Companies

Taking over management from a freeholder means inheriting budgets, contracts and compliance duties all at once. We work with newly formed RTM companies from the acquisition date onward, and help make the first service charge year a manageable one.

Small Blocks

Blocks under about fifteen flats get turned down by most agents because the fees do not cover the overheads. Having our own maintenance teams available changes that arithmetic. If you have been told your block is too small to bother with, talk to us.

Our approach

Managed properly, repaired quickly

Most complaints about managing agents come down to two things: repairs that drag on, and nobody picking up the phone.

We built the business around both. Nexus Premier is based in Basildon and works across south Essex and east London, close enough to the buildings we look after to actually turn up. We also run our own maintenance teams, so a board that wants repairs handled quickly has that option - and a board that would rather keep its own contractors keeps them. Your building, your choice.

The service

What block management covers

Block management is everything that keeps a building running once the flats are sold. 

Service charge budgets and demands. Communal repairs and planned maintenance. Contractor management. Buildings insurance administration. Fire risk assessments, communal electrical testing and the rest of the compliance schedule. Regular inspections, and reporting back to the directors in plain English rather than a spreadsheet nobody can follow.

Repairs - and who carries them out

We run our own maintenance teams, which means communal repairs can usually be done faster and without a minimum call-out charge swallowing a small job. Whether you use them is the board's decision. We will quote alongside any other contractor you want to consider, tell you plainly what our price covers, and source the work externally if you would rather. We will not carry out work on your building unless the board has chosen us to do it.

Why choose nexus

Why Directors, RTM companies & freeholders choose us

The differences that matter are practical ones: who turns up, how quickly it gets sorted, and whether you can get hold of someone who knows your building.

Your choice of contractor

We have our own maintenance teams if you want an in-house option, and we will manage your existing contractors if you do not. The board decides, and we quote on the same basis as anyone else.

One point of contact

You get a named person who knows your building. Not a ticket number and a different account manager every six months.

Actually Local

Based in Basildon, working across south Essex and east London. Close enough to attend the buildings we manage rather than managing them from a distance.

Blocks of any size

From small conversions to larger developments and estates. We do not have a minimum unit count that rules out the buildings that need help most.

Thinking of changing managing agent?

Most of our conversations start with a director who has run out of patience. Switching is more straightforward than people expect, and there are usually only two things that matter: what your management agreement says about notice, and getting a clean handover of funds, records and contracts. We will talk you through both before anyone signs anything.

Areas we cover

Where we work

We work along the A127 and A13 corridor, from east London out through south Essex to the estuary. 

That is a deliberate choice rather than a coverage list - being able to get to a building matters more than claiming to cover everywhere.
