At George Ellis Property Services, we create a bespoke solution for every individual block management instruction we receive. At George Ellis Property Services we firmly believe in a long term relationship with our clients and an understanding of their requirements to provide the correct service.

After a consultation and site meeting, George Ellis Property Services will discuss the services required and the involvement of both parties, and from there we will draw up a management contract, setting out our duties to run the block efficiently and cost effectively. Our emphasis is to offer a hands on proactive style of management offering quick response times. Emails are dealt with in 24 hours, calls are answered swiftly with no switchboard involved and we also offer a 24-hour emergency telephone service provided by staff members.

We have full Public Indemnity insurance cover and adhere to strict professional standards of business conduct. We prefer to take instructions within a 5 mile radius to our site, as we feel this is a crucial point in block management in the event of an emergency, a rapid response can save money and help sort out a complicated situation effectively.
