We have successfully supported a number of local residential blocks through the Right to Manage (RTM) process, helping leaseholders take control of their building with confidence.
From initial guidance through to transition and ongoing management, we provide clear, practical support at every stage. Our experience ensures the process is handled efficiently and professionally, allowing residents to move forward with greater transparency, control, and peace of mind.

"Welcome to the PLJ Group, proudly family‑run Block and Estate Management Companies led and owned by husband‑and‑wife team Tom and Kaye. Built on trust, transparency, and a genuine commitment to our community, we offer a refreshing approach to Block and Estate management. With deep local roots and a hands‑on ethos, we provide a level of care that we believe larger, national firms simply can not match. We focus on delivering a personal, approachable service backed by clear communication and reliable expertise. At the same time, we’re big enough to cope. Our years of experience, professional systems, and trusted network of contractors mean we can handle everything from routine maintenance and compliance to long‑term planning and major works. Whether it is a small block, a larger development, or multiple properties, you can rely on us for efficient, proactive management tailored to your needs. Yet we remain small enough to care. When you work with us, you speak directly with the owners of the business and our team—people who genuinely value your satisfaction, understand the local area, and take pride in delivering a service rooted in integrity and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a dependable, personable, and locally focused block or estate management partner, we’d love to hear from you."
