Block Management is our specialist service for owners of whole buildings in Manchester. Six units, twelve units, an entire block. We treat the building as one operational asset. Unified compliance, coordinated commercial strategy across every unit, single accountability for shared areas, and a rent-roll that scales as one number, not twelve.
Block Management is a single operator running every unit in the building. Not one operator on the ground floor, a different lettings agent on the second, and a third company handling the top two floors. One team, one contract, one point of contact for the block owner.
That single-operator structure is what unlocks the value. Statutory compliance is unified across the shared areas: fire door schedules, communal EICR, emergency lighting, fire alarm servicing, PAT testing, and HMO licensing where the layout triggers it. Cleaning and turnover teams already know the building. Pricing is coordinated across every unit through one dynamic engine, so your units don't cannibalise each other on the same booking platform.
The block owner deals with one company. One monthly report covering the whole building. One WhatsApp thread for anything urgent. One quarterly review that treats the block as one asset, not twelve separate line items.
A block carries compliance obligations that a single unit doesn't. Communal fire risk assessments, emergency lighting certificates, fire door schedules, communal electrical inspections, and HMO licensing where the layout triggers it. Fragmenting management across multiple operators means gaps.
Twelve units in one building, each managed by a different operator, all listed on Airbnb, all pricing independently, ends with your units undercutting each other on the same guest search. One operator prices the block as one asset.
When a lightbulb goes in the hallway or a guest damages a communal door, who owns the fix? With a block operator, it's us. With fragmented management, it's an argument between multiple parties and the block owner.
Fire risk assessments, emergency lighting, fire door inspections, communal EICR, PAT testing, and HMO licensing where the layout triggers it. One schedule, one register, no gaps.
Dynamic pricing across every unit via PriceLabs, tuned to Manchester submarket data. Units in the same block never undercut each other on the same guest search.
Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google Vacation Rentals, TripAdvisor, Expedia, corporate housing platforms, and 20+ more via Guesty. Coordinated at the block level, not fragmented per unit.
Guest communications run through Enso Connect. One guest journey per building, staffed around the clock, so any guest issue is triaged inside ten minutes.
Shared area cleaning, communal light maintenance, and turnover coordination handled by one cleaning team that already knows the building layout.
One monthly PDF pack covering the whole block. Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, net-to-owner, and condition, at unit level and rolled up to block totals.
Lower commission than OTAs, so block-level revenue improves as the direct brand builds. Repeat guests route through direct in preference to third-party platforms.
One named contact for the block owner, WhatsApp reachable, with a quarterly block-level review that treats the building as one asset, not twelve line items.
We walk the whole building with you. Every unit, every communal area, every compliance document. We map what's there, what's missing, and what needs work.
Within 48 hours a written proposal covering commercial terms, any operational works needed, projected block-level revenue, and the compliance gap list.
Professional photography across every unit, listing setup across 20+ platforms, dynamic pricing configured for the block, statutory compliance brought up to date, and cleaning and linen teams walked through the layout.
The block goes live. Monthly reports start. You get one call, one point of contact, and a rent-roll that grows as the block matures on platform algorithms.
The fourteen-unit Chinatown block had been through multiple rent-to-rent operators who kept failing. Beyond Stays now operates six apartments as a single coordinated multi-unit operation within the wider block. Repositioned as short-let and corporate housing across Airbnb, Booking.com and direct corporate. One operator, one commercial strategy, one point of contact for the landlord.
Send us the block details and we'll come back within 48 hours with a written proposal, projected revenue, and the compliance gap list, benchmarked against comparable Manchester blocks.
