Sangsters Group Foresight Development — Phase 1
Property & Portfolio Management

Block Management & Guaranteed Rent Partnerships

We manage everything between the front door and the roofline — communal repairs, compliance, budgets and contractors — for residential blocks. And for owners and developers who'd rather have a fixed income than a full-time job, we guarantee your rent while we run the property as a short-term let.

Long-term block management, handled properly

Sangsters Group works with resident management companies, freeholders and developers to keep residential blocks running smoothly — from routine site inspections and service charge budgeting to contractor tendering and cyclical major works. We work alongside developers early too, advising on how communal areas and plant should be designed so they're practical and affordable to run once residents move in.

Straightforward, itemised pricing — no surprises buried in your service charge.

Our clients range from single self-managed blocks of a handful of flats through to larger portfolios spread across Jamaica, the UK and the UAE. Whatever the size, the same principle applies: clear reporting, responsive contractor management, and a single point of contact who actually answers the phone.

01

Compliance & Inspections

Fire safety, health & safety and statutory compliance tracked and actioned, with regular site visits and inspection reports.

02

Budgets & Service Charges

Annual service charge budgets prepared, collected and reconciled transparently, with year-end accounts you can actually follow.

03

Contractors & Major Works

Tendering, appointing and managing maintenance contracts and on-site staff, plus consultation and project management for major works.

Block management pricing

Priced per unit, per year — the fairest and most transparent way to compare block management costs. Your exact fee depends on building complexity, compliance requirements and the level of on-site support needed, but here's where most blocks land.

For Owners & Developers

Guaranteed rent, while we run your property as a short-term let

If you own a flat, villa or a block of units you'd rather not manage yourself, we'll pay you a fixed monthly rent — guaranteed, whether the property is occupied or not — and take on the entire operation: guest bookings, cleaning, maintenance, pricing and marketing across Airbnb and direct channels.

You get certainty. We take on the risk, the guest messages, and the 2am maintenance calls.
1

We agree your guaranteed rent

Based on the property's location and achievable short-term rental income, we agree a fixed monthly payment upfront — typically 80–90% of open market rent.

2

We operate the property

Sangsters Group lists, prices, and manages the property as a short-term rental — handling every guest interaction, cleaning turnover and maintenance issue.

3

You get paid, every month

Your rent lands on the same date each month regardless of occupancy, voids, or guest cancellations. No chasing, no surprises.

Best For Single Units

Guaranteed Rent

A fixed monthly payment for the term of our agreement, typically 12–36 months. Sangsters Group takes on all occupancy risk in exchange for keeping the difference between your guaranteed rent and actual short-term rental income.

Ideal for owners who want a landlord-free, hands-off income with zero exposure to void periods, guest issues or seasonal demand swings.

Best For Developments & Portfolios

Revenue Share Partnership

Rather than a fixed rent, we split net short-term rental income after operating costs — commonly around a 70/30 split in your favour. This suits high-performing locations where short-term yield can meaningfully outperform a fixed guarantee.

A good fit for developers bringing multiple units into partnership, where Sangsters Group can operate the whole block as branded serviced accommodation.

Worked Example — Guaranteed Rent
Open market monthly rent£1,500
Guaranteed rent to owner (85%)£1,275 / month
Paid regardless of occupancyYes — every month
