The Queens Apartments, Hastings
Our relationship with The Queens Apartments dates all the way back to 2003 when the building was converted and Oakfield was appointed as agents for the Developers.
The Queens Apartments, formally The Queens Hotel, is a stunning conversion located on Hastings seafront. Converted in 2003, the building was transformed from a desired and sort out hotel, into luxury sea view apartments and stylish studio’s, as well as mixed use commercial units. Oakfield were appointed as the managing agents following the conversion and assisted with welcoming new leaseholders into the Building.
During 20 years of management, Oakfield have closely managed the Building on behalf of the Freeholder, acting as the main point of contact for both residential leaseholders and commercial tenants alike. Whilst the building has on occasion been a challenge to manage given its size, it has been a rewarding building to oversee throughout the years. Due to its size, The Queens Apartments has often been subject to the tightest requirements under new legislation and has recently been confirmed and registered as a High Risk Residential Building or HRRB under The Building Safety Act 2022.
The Queens Apartments has not only been a truly interesting building to manage, but it has also been an integral part of Oakfield Block Management portfolio over the years and is a standout building.
The building is an example of a completely fully managed service offered by Oakfield, whereby the team is appointed to oversee and plan all maintenance, repairs and major works on behalf of the Freeholder, and take responsibility for the decisions made, considering the Freeholder and lease conditions at all times.
