Block and Estate Management Services

Providing a range of block management services across Manchester.

Block & Estate Management


At Northmode, we make block management straightforward and effective, combining local knowledge with hands on expertise across Greater Manchester and Cheshire.


Every development is different. That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We work closely with directors and residents to tailor our service around each building's specific needs, offering a balance of structure, flexibility and responsiveness.


What makes us different is how we build relationships. We don’t just manage buildings, we look after communities.


Across our portfolio, we’re known for our clear communication, proactive management and the trust we build with the people we work with.
