We are partnering exclusively with a well-established property management team in Kent to recruit a Property Manager to oversee a diverse portfolio of residential and mixed-use developments. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced block manager looking to take the next step in their career or for a more senior professional seeking a rewarding challenge.
 
About the Role
You will be responsible for managing a portfolio of approximately 20–25 blocks, comprising 350–500 units across a mixture of purpose-built, conversions, new builds, freehold estates, and mixed-use developments. Your focus will be on delivering exceptional service to leaseholders and residents, ensuring smooth operations and compliance across the portfolio.
 
Key Responsibilities
  • Manage the day-to-day operations of the assigned property portfolio.
  • Ensure compliance with leasehold legislation and building regulations.
  • Maintain strong relationships with residents, owners, and contractors.
  • Deliver excellent customer service, resolving issues promptly and professionally.
  • Oversee financial management, including service charges, budgets, and invoicing.
  • Support the team with projects, inspections, and audits as required.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to the development of the wider team.
Who We’re Looking For

  • Strong customer service skills with a proven ability to build trust and rapport.
  • Honest, reliable, and committed to delivering on promises.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a small, friendly, and supportive team.
  • ATPI qualification desirable (can be obtained during employment).
  • Full driving licence and access to your own vehicle essential.
Experience Considerations
  • Candidates currently managing a portfolio as a Junior PM or Assistant PM are encouraged to apply if looking to step up.
  • More senior candidates with extensive experience are also welcome and will be considered for higher salary.
  • Only candidates with a background in block management will be considered; lettings or general housing experience alone will not suffice.
Benefits & Perks
  • 22 days’ holiday per year
  • Performance bonus for positive client feedback
  • Commission on new leads introduced to the business
  • Career progression opportunities, including team leadership and qualification development
  • Company events, CPD opportunities, and team trips
