Most disputes in a block come down to the same thing: money went out and nobody could explain what it bought. A budget residents can read, and accounts that reconcile, prevent nearly all of it.

How we work
A UK company, and your money is held properly
Esines Property Management Ltd is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 15027307, with its registered office at 110 Leeside Crescent, London NW11 0JY. The company was previously registered as SS Property Inspections Ltd.
Service charge monies are held in designated client accounts under section 42 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 — they are your funds, not ours. We are a member of a government-approved redress scheme and hold client money protection; both scheme details appear on our legal page and are available on request. We are not solicitors or accountants and give no legal or tax advice.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Where is our service charge money held?
In designated client accounts, separate from company funds, as required by section 42 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987. The money belongs to the leaseholders.
Are you in a redress scheme?
Yes. Membership of a government-approved redress scheme is a legal requirement for property agents in England, and our scheme details are on the legal page.
What is Section 20 and when does it apply?
Statutory consultation required before qualifying works above a threshold, or long-term agreements. Getting the sequence wrong can limit what's recoverable from leaseholders, so we run it properly.
Can we switch agents mid-year?
Usually yes, subject to the notice in your current agreement. We'll handle the handover of records and funds and tell you what to expect.
How are your fees charged?
Per unit per year, stated in the management agreement. Any additional work is agreed before it's carried out.
Do you give legal advice on leases?
No. We read and apply the lease, and where interpretation is genuinely in dispute we'll recommend a solicitor rather than guess.
Unhappy with your current agent?
A free review of the block, the accounts and the compliance position. No obligation to switch.
