“We have enjoyed excellent service from Blake Property Management Ltd (BPM) and warmly commend their management expertise in providing a professional and comprehensive package to the Directors of residential or commercial property. Our experience has resulted in a seamless service from the initial contact right through to preparation and collection of the service charge to dealing with our Freeholder to arrange building insurance, arranging statutory Health and Safety and Fire inspections, and providing an excellent and reliable service to residents on the care of the communal areas. BPM provide easy communication and are readily available to provide help and guidance to all our residents.

BPM are big enough and have a wide range of contractor contacts to enable them to meet the expectations of the most demanding clients but small enough to provide the very personal service so sadly lacking in so many modern businesses. This is a business that puts the interest of the customer at the heart of everything it does. For us, it has been a true partnership that has brought peace of mind and confidence in building asset value for our apartment owners.

We look forward to continuing to enjoy our excellent relationship with BPM and have every confidence we will continue to benefit from the attention to detail and the ethos that "gets the job done" in an efficient, friendly and cost effective manner.”

“Since we asked B.P.M to take over the Management of our development some five years ago life has been so much easier.

Being a Director of the Development's Management Company is hard enough without the day to day problems made worse by a poor quality Management Property Co.

Blake Property Management carry out their work on our behalf with efficiency, care and professionalism and all in a friendly manner.

I would have no hesitation in recommending their excellent services.”

“Blake Property Management (BPM) were appointed as our Managing Agents in 2006. We were very nervous about what we could expect from BPM, as their predecessors had left us with more problems than they had actually solved. However we can honestly say that our reservations were completely unfounded and during the last 5 years it has been a pleasure to work with them.

As Directors we need to be 100% confident in our Managing Agent as they look after the development on our behalf on a day to day basis. BPM are efficient and reliable and offer us a high quality service. They not only understand what is required to maintain and improve our property, but also the legislation that we must comply with, whilst keeping tight control of the annual budget that has been agreed.

The level of communication from BPM from day one has been excellent, not only with the Directors of the development but with all the other residents as well. BPM are reactive but also proactive in identifying work that needs to be carried out to ensure that the buildings state of repair is maintained to a high standard. Despite their Head Office being located several hours away, this has never prevented any site visits taking place or maintenance work from being progressed.

We have found them to be very professional and a company that offers excellent value for money and we would not hesitate to recommend them.”

“David Tatum Managing Director of BPM is a man who is trustworthy and very approachable. He gets on with what needs to be done using people, most of them local, doing the jobs necessary and promptly. Financial issues have been dealt with that were left in a mess from the previous management. BPM keeps on top of all issues it is my pleasure to recommend Blake Property Management for their skills in attention to detail and commitment ensuring the best for everyone concerned.”

“We are just 14 apartments based five miles north of Bolton on the West Pennine Moors. Our apartments were constructed in 2004 and the builder appointed the managing agents; they were inept, uncaring and worst of all extremely costly. Clearly they worked for the builder and not the owners/residents of the apartments. A former director and I began a search for replacement management agent and Blake Property Management Ltd. came to the fore, they seemed to fit all our needs. The one slight issue was the geographical distance between Buckinghamshire and Lancashire; as it happens this concern was so unfounded. We appointed BPM in March 2006 we have never looked back.

The MD of BPM David Tatum came to Bolton and gave a splendid presentation full of fact coupled with honest intent of their methodology. David visits our complex on a fairly regular basis, so distance really poses no problems; we are of course in touch by telephone and e.mail. Contact calls are responded to almost immediately, and the ultimate actions are implemented promptly and expeditiously.

BPM's expertise in all aspects of property management is nothing short of brilliant and has ensured that our community service charges have been kept to an affordable level. All the members of this family operated company are easy of approach, genuine and actually do consider the needs of us their clients. What you see on Blake Property Management website is fact, coupled with integrity, they provide sincere, practical and most importantly, personal and effective management. Additionally, they have a knack of appointing good local trades people to undertake any work to be attended to. We directors at our apartment management company are so pleased we appointed BPM as our agents, no regrets whatsoever.”

“I am involved in the running of a small management company looking after 12 units, garages and parking spaces and surrounding grounds. When this company was formed 25 years ago, our residents included a retired police officer, a chartered accountant, a retired company managing director, a lawyer, a secretary/P.A, and a land and estate agent, together with other willing hands. We were, therefore, able to undertake many of the management and maintenance tasks ourselves at that time.

As time goes by, however, people move, pass away or, at the very least grow older! Consequently, a few years ago we started looking for a Managing Agent. A number were interviewed and Blake Property Management, headed by David Tatum, impressed us by being head and shoulders above the rest and was duly appointed.

Since then, we have enjoyed a very happy and fruitful relationship with David and his team. David does things which, in the present world, are fairly unusual such as promptly replying to calls and emails, ringing back when he says he will, and dealing promptly with correspondence! He also negotiates successfully with contractors, provides excellent documentation for meetings and gives first-class advice when required.

I should be amazed if, having instructed B.P.M. to help run your development, you were not highly delighted with the result of your decision.”

"We previously had a property management company which did virtually nothing to look after our development and at a high price. Since engaging BPM we have had an excellent, caring service and at far less cost. Top marks all round."
