About our client

Our client is a residential property owner with a substantial in-house portfolio management team. Unlike a managing agent, they hold the assets directly, and their in-house facilities teams look after the physical upkeep of buildings, which frees this role to focus on the people side of property management.

The role

They're looking for a senior property manager to join their team. The portfolio is mostly residential with some mixed use, including a number of higher-risk buildings. You'll be the main point of contact for resident association directors and leaseholders, taking ownership of compliance, LPE1s and enforcement matters rather than day-to-day site works, which sit with the facilities team.

What you'll be doing

• Building and maintaining relationships with resident association directors and leaseholders across a mixed portfolio
• Reviewing and signing off LPE1 forms and solicitor enquiries
• Overseeing compliance and life safety obligations across sites, including higher-risk buildings
• Leading on enforcement matters and escalated disputes
• Supporting service charge budgets, accounts and expenditure alongside the finance team
• Supporting the mobilisation of new schemes and providing informal guidance to an Associate Property Manager

Skills and experience

• Experience as a property manager or in a similar residential/mixed-use role
• Strong understanding of higher-risk buildings and building safety obligations
• TPI Level 3 (ATPI), or working towards
• Sound knowledge of service charge budgets and leasehold legislation
• Full driving licence and access to own transport

Desirable:

• TPI Level 4 (MTPI), or working towards
• Experience managing developments with district heating systems
• Knowledge of the right to manage processes
