Our Estate and Block Management department is led by Director Kerry Newstead, who has been part of the Oakfield family for over 20 years. Kerry brings extensive organisational expertise and strong leadership to the department, ensuring a structured, compliant and highly responsive service for our clients. She is supported by Steve, our Technical Director, whose background in building and construction provides valuable technical oversight across our portfolio, particularly in relation to maintenance planning, compliance and major works.

They are supported by a strong and experienced team comprising two Senior Property Managers, two Property Managers, two dedicated support team members and a specialist accounts team of three. Together, they cover the full spectrum of our clients’ needs, providing a comprehensive, hands-on and tailored service across every aspect of estate and block management.

When it comes to management, we know it’s all about the service our customers receive, and our team consistently goes out of its way to look after our clients. We take pride in building long-lasting working relationships, something that is clearly evidenced across our managed portfolio. Each site is assigned a dedicated property manager, ensuring consistency, accountability and clear communication at all times.

We understand that leasehold management can present numerous challenges, from ever-evolving compliance requirements to complex financial administration and building maintenance issues. Our team makes it its mission to resolve problems efficiently, communicate transparently and stay fully up to date with current legislation and regulatory changes. The department undertakes regular industry training and professional development, including guidance from leading bodies such as The Property Institute (TPI), formerly ARMA and IRPM. This commitment ensures we continue to uphold – and exceed – professional standards, giving our clients confidence that their building is in safe and experienced hands.

Why choose us?

What we offer

Block management

As the name suggests, block management is all about the maintenance and management of residential buildings incorporating multiple units, including blocks of apartments or flats and similar types of shared property. It occurs where different leaseholders own individual properties or a share of the freehold while another organisation takes care of the structure itself. Block management encompasses sorting out maintenance, collecting service charges and more, while managers also handle a number of key legal obligations.
