Strengthening Block Management in Ireland – Insights from the Housing Agency Outreach Event

This week, our team attended the Outreach Event for Stakeholders in Multi-Unit Developments, organised by the Housing Agency. It was an insightful evening, bringing together professionals and service providers from across the property sector to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing multi-unit developments in Ireland today.

Events like this are invaluable for Property Service Providers (PSPs), giving us the chance to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and stay informed on best practices in areas such as governance, compliance, sustainability, and resident engagement.

What is Block Management?

Block management (sometimes referred to as multi-unit property management) involves the day-to-day running of apartment blocks, estates, and developments. This includes:

• Maintenance of communal areas (gardens, hallways, lighting, etc.)
• Collection and management of service charges
• Organising repairs and improvements
• Ensuring compliance with health & safety and legal requirements
• Supporting Owners’ Management Companies (OMCs) with governance and reporting

In short, block management ensures that developments are well-maintained, compliant, and pleasant places to live.

Benefits of Professional Block Management

For residents and owners, the benefits include:

• A clean, safe, and well-maintained living environment
• Transparent financial management of service charges
• Quick response to maintenance or safety issues

For developers and landlords, professional management brings:

• Long-term protection of asset value
• Confidence that the development is being run efficiently and compliantly
• A trusted point of contact for both residents and stakeholders
