Admin-Only Management in Plymouth
Need help with the paperwork only? Our Admin Only management handles finances, notices, and compliance, ideal for self-managed blocks.
Admin only management is a form of property management where the managing agent is responsible for the financial, administrative, and statutory duties of a building, while the day-to-day maintenance and repair responsibilities remain with the landlord, freeholder, or residents’ management company.
This service is commonly used in UK leasehold and freehold blocks where property owners want professional support with compliance and accounting, but prefer to retain control over physical maintenance decisions.
Overview of Our Admin Only Management Service
At Plymouth Block Management, our admin only management service is designed to support residential blocks that require structured financial oversight and legal compliance without full-service site management.
We act as the administrative and financial backbone of your property management structure, ensuring all statutory obligations are met accurately and on time.
What Our Admin Only Management Service Includes
Our service typically covers the following areas:
- Preparation and management of annual service charge budgets
- Collection and reconciliation of service charges and ground rent
- Production of annual financial statements and reports
- Management of property insurance administration
- Coordination of statutory compliance documentation
- Section 20 consultation administration (where applicable)
- Liaison with landlords, RTM companies, and resident directors
- Record keeping for lease compliance and audit readiness
Each element is handled with a focus on transparency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance.
Who Is Admin Only Management Suitable For?
This service is ideal for:
- Freehold landlords managing small or medium residential blocks
- Right to Manage (RTM) companies seeking financial oversight support
- Resident Management Companies (RMCs) requiring administrative assistance

It is particularly effective where financial governance is needed more than operational site management.

What Does Admin Only Property Management Mean?
It is a service where a managing agent handles financial administration, service charge accounting, and compliance tasks, while leaving physical maintenance and repairs to the landlord or residents.
Is Admin Only Management Suitable for Small Blocks?
Yes. It is often used for small and medium-sized residential blocks where residents want control over maintenance but require professional financial management.
What Are the Main Benefits of Admin Only Management?
The main benefits include lower management fees, improved financial organisation, and greater flexibility in how maintenance is handled.
Do You Manage Repairs Under Admin Only Services?
No. Repairs and maintenance are typically managed directly by the landlord, residents’ management company, or appointed contractors.
Can We Switch from Full Management to Admin Only?
Yes. Many buildings transition to admin only management when they already have established maintenance arrangements in place.
