Edinburgh Block Management (EBM) has been established as a simple, cost-effective service to assist and support property owners to encourage good maintenance practice.  Providing long term benefit, well-being, comfort & safety for owners and those who live in a traditional tenement stair or development allowing residents to enjoy their home.

Edinburgh Block Management provides the traditional factoring style services to owners and residents in Edinburgh, but without the constant management billing and surprise invoices associated with traditional factoring providers.

 

 Traditional Tenements

Our Block Maintenance provides at least 3 basic building maintenance core services, at a fixed one-off cost for 12 months.
There are NO monthly or quarterly factoring fees and no commitment to signing into any longer term. This also includes Routine Inspections, Instruction of Routine & Cyclical Maintenance/Repair Management, Emergency Repairs, Accounting/Invoicing, Tendering, Initial Debt Recovery, Owner Meetings and General Administration.

 

Developments

Our Block Maintenance provides Factoring Services at a competitive rate with monthly/quarterly billing which includes the following services:  Routine Inspections, Instruction of Routine & Cyclical Maintenance/ Repair Management, Emergency Repairs, Accounting/Invoicing, Tendering, Initial Debt Recovery, Owner Meetings and General Administration.

 

Our pricing structure for Developments will be tailored to the size and service requirement/agreement of your Development and its owners.

 

Communal repair issues for Tenements and Developments that arise throughout the term of service provision e.g. door entry, painting, drainage, balustrade, lifts, security cameras,  etc. would be forwarded to contractors for quotations/estimates where appropriate.  With the use of online polls, owners can decide which estimate to select, which contractor to instruct and make other decisions. We would enter discussions with Committees and Associations within the Developments to manage repairs.

We all realise just how difficult and slow it is to resolve communal repair issues within a Tenement Stair or Development. There are difficulties communicating with all the owners, organising various quotations from multiple contractors, and establishing an agreed solution.

​

On occasions, it is sometimes a daunting prospect for most owners to dedicate the time and effort involved, to identify shared areas, liability and costs.  Having someone helping progress maintenance can be essential when a percentage of owners do not agree or do not want to contribute.

The cost of maintenance, well-being, comfort and safety of residents will be of utmost importance to Edinburgh Block Management at all times.
