Job Description:

Property Manager - Residential Block Management

Southgate, London N14, Monday-Friday

Salary: Competitive, plus commission / performance-related earnings

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

About Us

Cotleigh Property is an established and growing residential block management company based in Southgate, North London. We manage a varied portfolio of residential developments across North London and the surrounding areas, providing a professional, responsive and personable service to leaseholders, residents and Directors.

As our business continues to grow, we are looking to appoint an experienced Property Manager to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to move away from the high-volume, corporate-style environment often associated with larger managing agents and into a business where quality of service, team culture and long-term relationships are genuinely valued.

You'll be given ownership of your own portfolio, the autonomy to manage it effectively, and the opportunity to play an important role in the continued growth of the business.

The Role

As Property Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of a portfolio of residential blocks, ensuring developments are maintained to a high standard whilst delivering an excellent service to leaseholders, residents and client directors.

You'll work closely with contractors, surveyors, insurers and professional advisers, managing everything from routine maintenance through to compliance matters and major works projects.

This is a varied position offering genuine responsibility, autonomy and the opportunity to become a key member of a supportive and growing team.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing a portfolio of residential blocks across North London and the surrounding areas.
• Acting as the main point of contact for leaseholders, residents and Directors.
• Arranging repairs and maintenance works and ensuring they are completed to a high standard.
• Carrying out regular site inspections and producing follow-up actions.
• Managing contractor relationships and monitoring service delivery.
• Preparing and issuing contractor instructions.
• Managing insurance claims where required.
• Overseeing statutory compliance across managed developments.
• Assisting with service charge budgets alongside the accounts team.
• Preparing for and attending AGMs, Directors' meetings and residents' meetings.
• Managing Section 20 consultation processes and major works projects where required.
• Maintaining accurate property records and ensuring all matters are progressed efficiently.
• Delivering a professional, proactive and customer-focused service at all times.

About You

We're looking for someone who already has experience managing residential blocks and enjoys building strong relationships with clients whilst taking ownership of their portfolio.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience as a Property Manager within residential block management.
• A good understanding of leasehold property management.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise a varied workload.
• A proactive and solutions-focused approach.
• Confidence managing contractors and professional advisers.
• Experience overseeing maintenance works and compliance matters.
• Exposure to Section 20 consultations and major works would be advantageous.
• A full UK driving licence is preferred but not essential.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary.
• Additional earning potential through commission and performance-related payments.
• Genuine opportunities for career progression as the business continues to grow.
• A supportive and collaborative team environment.
• Greater autonomy and ownership of your portfolio.
• Exposure to a varied range of residential developments and property management matters.
• The opportunity to contribute to the continued growth and success of an expanding managing agent.
