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.
Experts in Block Management
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.
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.
Compliance & Inspections
Fire safety, health & safety and statutory compliance tracked and actioned, with regular site visits and inspection reports.
Budgets & Service Charges
Annual service charge budgets prepared, collected and reconciled transparently, with year-end accounts you can actually follow.
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.
Small Blocks
- Full compliance & safety management
- Service charge budgeting & accounts
- Contractor sourcing & management
- Quarterly site inspections
Standard Blocks
- Everything in Small Blocks, plus:
- Major works consultation
- On-site staff appointment & oversight
- Monthly site inspections
- Dedicated property manager
Large Developments
- Everything in Standard Blocks, plus:
- Pre-completion developer consultancy
- Weekly site presence
- Expert witness & mediation support
All fees exclusive of VAT and cover management only — maintenance, insurance and major works costs are quoted separately and shown transparently in your service charge.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
