About the employer

The company was formed by a number of experienced professionals who had become disillusioned with the poor service being offered to residents from the larger companies in the industry.

The aim of the company is simple: to offer a personalised service to resident directors and leaseholders. This may sound simple but it is sadly lacking throughout the industry due to the ever increasing amount of leasehold properties being built, and the ever increasing demands of the property managers employed to look after these developments.

At Warwick Estates there exist simple checks and balances to ensure we will never become "just another big property management company that doesn't care". Our Property Managers will never have more than 15 developments to manage. This is a remarkably low number and emphasises our commitment to service rather than maximising profit.

Our Property Managers have many years experience working with some of the largest property management companies in the UK. They are now ready to offer their expertise to developments on a 1 to 15 ratio where this experience and new found resource can be utilised to the benefit of all leaseholders.
