A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VISITED US AT THE BOB CLUB BUSINESS EXPO LAST WEEK!

It was fantastic to meet so many local business owners, landlords, freeholders, leaseholders and property investors. We had some great conversations about the challenges people are currently facing with both Block Management and Buy-to-Let properties.

Many of the discussions centred around:

🏢 Rising block management costs
🔥 Fire safety and compliance requirements
đź“‹ Service charge administration
🔧 Maintenance and contractor management
🏠 Landlord responsibilities under the Renters' Rights Act
đź’· Rent arrears and tenant management
đź“‘ Property compliance and legal obligations
🤝 Poor communication from existing managing agents

If you didn't get the opportunity to visit our stand, or if a conversation at the expo has left you with questions, we'd be delighted to help.

Whether you're:

âś… A freeholder
âś… A leaseholder
âś… A Residents' Management Company Director
âś… A landlord with one property or a growing portfolio
âś… Unhappy with your current managing agent

We're always happy to have an informal, no-obligation conversation about your property challenges and explore how we may be able to help.

🏢 BLOCK MANAGEMENT CAUSING YOU A HEADACHE?

We speak to freeholders, leaseholders and Residents' Management Companies every week who are facing the same challenges:

âť“ Who is responsible for repairs?
âť“ Are we legally compliant?
âť“ Do we have the correct fire safety measures in place?
âť“ Why are service charge disputes becoming more frequent?
âť“ Is our building adequately insured?
âť“ How do we deal with difficult residents or absentee owners?
âť“ Are our communal areas being properly maintained?
âť“ What happens if we receive enforcement action from the council or fire service?

Managing a block of flats can quickly become time-consuming, stressful and confusing, especially as legislation and compliance requirements continue to evolve.

Whether you're self-managing, unhappy with your current managing agent, or simply want some independent advice, we'd be delighted to have an informal chat.

WHEN FIRE STRIKES, GOOD BLOCK MANAGEMENT MATTERS

Last Wednesday at 1:06pm, we received reports of a fire at a neighbouring property to one of the blocks we manage in Scarborough.

Within minutes, four fire appliances, multiple ambulances and the police were on scene. While we do not manage the affected building, our immediate priority was the safety and wellbeing of our residents.

We are incredibly grateful that no people or pets were injured during the incident, and everyone was accounted for and safe.

As soon as we were notified, we contacted all tenants to confirm their whereabouts and ensure they were safe. We then attended the site, which had been cordoned off, and met with residents to provide reassurance and support during what was understandably a worrying situation.

We immediately informed the freeholder and brought in specialist support from [Aspray](https://www.aspray.com), who are now assisting alongside the building insurer.

We also arranged for emergency contractors, including a locksmith and carpenter, to secure the building and carry out temporary repairs after the fire service was forced to gain entry through the main entrance door and three flat entrance doors to ensure all occupants were safe.

Property management is about far more than collecting service charges and arranging maintenance. It's about being there when people need support most. We stayed with residents, provided drinks and food, kept everyone informed and helped ensure they felt safe and settled before returning to their homes.

A huge thank you to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, North Yorkshire Police, the ambulance service and our contractors for their professionalism, care and rapid response.

This incident is also a timely reminder of the importance of block compliance, fire safety, emergency procedures and having the right management processes in place before an emergency happens.

If you're a freeholder, leaseholder, director of a residents' management company or own a block of flats and have concerns about compliance, fire safety, insurance, maintenance responsibilities or block management, come and have an informal chat with us this Wednesday.

a New Managing Agent for Your Block or Rental Property?

If you're a landlord, freeholder, leaseholder, or director of a resident management company and you're finding property management more stressful than it should be, we'd love to meet you at the Scarborough Small Business Expo.

Whether you're dealing with unresolved maintenance issues, poor communication from your current managing agent, increasing compliance requirements, service charge concerns, or you're simply looking for a more proactive approach, the team at Coast & County Property Management will be available throughout the event for a free, informal chat.

The property industry is changing rapidly, with increasing legislation, compliance obligations, and responsibilities for landlords and block owners. Many property owners are asking whether their current agent is providing the support and expertise they need.

If you've been asking yourself the same question, this is the perfect opportunity to discuss your concerns, explore your options, and get straightforward advice with no obligation.

IS YOUR BLOCK ACTUALLY BEING MANAGED... OR JUST COLLECTED FROM

More and more leaseholders and freeholders across Scarborough are starting to ask the same question:

“Where is our service charge actually going?”

Many buildings are still suffering from:

* poor communication
* delayed repairs
* little visible management
* unclear accounts
* unanswered emails
* growing compliance concerns

Block management has changed massively in recent years. With increasing fire safety obligations, insurance pressures and legal responsibilities, simply collecting service charges is no longer enough.

A managing agent should be:

* regularly attending the building
* carrying out compliance checks
* communicating clearly
* managing contractors properly
* keeping owners informed
* helping protect the building and its freeholders

At Coast & County Property Management Yorkshire Ltd](https://www.coastandcountyproperties.co.uk?utm_source=chatgpt.com) we believe block management should be proactive, transparent and personal.

We know many owners feel frustrated because they rarely hear from their managing agent unless there is a problem.

That is why we do things differently.

If you are unsure whether your current arrangement is working, ask yourself:

* Do we actually see our managing agent?
* Are inspections taking place?
* Are compliance issues being followed up?
* Do we understand where money is being spent?
* Do we feel confident our building is being properly looked after?

If not, it may be time for a conversation.

We are proud to bring a fresh, hands-on and compliance-focused approach to block management across Scarborough and the Yorkshire Coast.

WHAT A 6 WEEKS WE'VE HAD WITH BLOCK MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT LETTINGS

If someone had told us 6 weeks ago that running a property management company would involve:

• Fire safety disputes before 9am
• Mediating arguments between neighbours who haven’t liked each other since 2007
• Explaining why smoke alarms are not “optional”
• Emergency compliance works
• Chasing contractors, owners and tenants
• Translating legal jargon into English
• And surviving purely on caffeine and “just one more email”…

…we’d have said:
“Yes, that sounds about right actually.”

People often think block management is and lettings:
“Collect the money.”
“Pay a few invoices.”
“Send the odd email,"
" Peoperty Inspections

If only.

In reality, one minute you’re discussing FD30 fire doors and evacuation routes, the next you’re trying to stop World War 3 in a communal hallway because someone moved a plant pot three inches to the left.

Before lunch you’ve dealt with:
• a legal notice
• an insurance issue
• a contractor delay
• an electrical certificate
• a leak nobody reported for 6 months
• and at least one person saying:
“Well the previous management company never did that.”

And then came the Renters’ Rights Act.

Suddenly every landlord wanted answers:
“What notices do I serve?”
“What changes on 1st May?”
“Can I still regain possession?”
“Why is there another compliance document?”

At one point the office genuinely felt like a mixture of a legal practice, counselling service and emergency call centre.

There are days where you genuinely question whether you manage buildings… or star in a low-budget property-based crisis documentary.

But behind the humour, the reality is serious.

Property management in 2026 is becoming more complex than ever. Compliance standards are increasing, legislation is changing rapidly, and insurers and authorities rightly expect buildings to be managed safely and properly.

A lot of what we do isn’t glamorous.
It’s responsibility.
Problem solving.
Difficult conversations.
And making decisions that protect people and properties long term even when those decisions aren’t always popular.

The last few weeks have definitely tested us.

But they’ve also reminded us why communication, transparency and genuinely caring about the buildings and properties we manage still matters.

Even if sometimes it feels like we’re one email away from moving to a lighthouse somewhere with no WiFi.

BLOCK MANAGEMENT IN SCARBOROUGH REALLY SHOULDN’T BE THIS COMPLICATED

But as we’ve taken on more blocks locally, we keep coming across the same issues again and again…
Communication is slow or unclear
Leaseholders and freeholders feel left out of decisions.

Contractor invoices are higher than expected, with no real explanation
And small problems are left until they turn into bigger, more expensive ones

It creates frustration, tension between neighbours, and a general feeling that no one is really in control.

The truth is, it doesn’t need to be like that.

We’ve built our service around keeping things simple and transparent:
Clear, agreed monthly costs so everyone knows where they stand
Quotes that actually reflect the work being done.

No add-ons or mark-ups on contractor invoices.

Regular presence on site to spot issues early.

Open communication through calls, messages, and WhatsApp groups so everyone stays in the loop

Most blocks don’t need anything fancy they just need consistency, honesty, and someone who actually turns up and deals with things properly.

If you’re in a block in Scarborough and this sounds a bit too familiar, it might be worth having a conversation. No pressure, no sales pitch just a chance to talk things through and see where improvements could be made.

Action is usually the hardest part, so we try to make that as easy as possible.

⏳ 21 Days to Go – Are You Ready for the Renters’ Rights Changes?

With just 21 days remaining until the changes under the Renters’ Rights legislation come into force, now is the time for landlords to act.

At Coast & County Property Management, we’re already working closely with our landlords to make sure everything is in place ahead of the deadline, because once it arrives, there’s no grace period.

đź“Ś What You Need to Do Now

Landlords should now be preparing to formally serve updated information to all existing tenants. This is not optional. It forms part of your compliance obligations and protects your position moving forward.

This information can be sent by email, which is quick and efficient where tenants have agreed to receive communication this way, or by post, which remains a solid option where there is any uncertainty around email communication.

⚠️ Why This Matters

If the correct documentation is not served, it can lead to delays or restrictions when trying to regain possession, increase the risk of disputes or tenant challenges, and potentially result in compliance breaches or financial penalties.

In simple terms, if it’s not done properly now, it can cause serious problems later.

🧾 What Should Be Included?

Each tenancy may vary slightly, but landlords should be ensuring tenants are provided with up-to-date and relevant documentation that aligns with the new legislation. This helps create transparency, clarity, and legal protection for everyone involved.

đź’¬ What This Means in Real Terms

This isn’t just about paperwork. It’s about protecting your asset.

If something goes wrong further down the line, whether that’s rent arrears, possession, or a dispute, the first thing that will be looked at is whether you followed the correct process now.

Getting this right puts you in control.

âś… Our Advice

Don’t leave this until the last minute.

If you’re unsure what needs to be sent, how to send it, or whether your current tenancies are compliant, now is the time to get clarity and take action.
