Professional property management, with a personal and responsive approach.
Leasehold block management and freehold estate management for RMCs, RTM companies, freeholders and developers.
A managing agent that understands both sides.
Managing a residential development can be demanding. Whether you are a director of a Residents’ Management Company, a Right to Manage Company or responsible for a freehold estate, you need a managing agent that understands both the legal responsibilities involved and the expectations of the people who live there.
At Butlin Property Services, we provide professional leasehold block management and freehold estate management, working closely with directors, leaseholders and homeowners to protect your development, control costs and maintain high standards.
We believe good property management should be proactive, transparent and responsive. Our role is not simply to collect service charges and arrange contractors. We work in partnership with our clients, providing practical advice and day-to-day support so that directors can make informed decisions about their development.
Specialists in resident-controlled developments.
It is increasingly common for leaseholders to have direct involvement in, or control over, the management of their development. A significant proportion of our clients are Residents’ Management Companies (RMCs) and Right to Manage (RTM) Companies.
Freehold-owning RMCs
Where the residents’ company owns the freehold of the development.
RMCs with management responsibilities
Where responsibility for managing the development is vested in the company under the terms of the leases.
Right to Manage Companies
Where qualifying leaseholders have acquired the statutory right to take over the management of their development.
Whatever the structure of your development, we can work alongside your directors to provide the professional support required to manage it effectively. More on RMC & RTM management
Appointing a managing agent should not mean giving up control.
As directors and members of your management company, you set the priorities. We provide the professional knowledge, administration and practical support needed to put those decisions into effect.

Company administration for RMCs and RTM Companies
Running a Residents’ Management Company also brings company administration responsibilities. Where required, we can provide additional support including:
- Acting as Company Secretary
- Arranging and assisting with Annual General Meetings
- Coordinating the preparation and submission of company accounts
- Completing and filing the company’s annual Confirmation Statement
- Providing our offices as the company’s registered office
- Supporting directors with routine company administration
This allows directors to concentrate on the important decisions affecting their development while we take care of much of the day-to-day administration.
Freehold estate management
Our services are not limited to traditional leasehold apartment blocks.
We also provide professional management for freehold residential estates, including developments where homeowners contribute towards the maintenance and upkeep of private roads, landscaped areas, drainage systems, lighting, open spaces and other shared facilities.
We can assist resident-controlled management companies and other property owners with the budgeting, collection, administration and expenditure of estate charges, together with the practical management of the communal estate.
Changing agent need not be complicated.
If you are unhappy with your current arrangements, perhaps because of poor communication, rising management costs, slow responses, inadequate maintenance or a lack of transparency, we would be pleased to discuss how your development could be managed differently.
