About Us
Denfords Property Management is an established, independent block management specialist based at the beautiful Shamrock Quay in Southampton. We are definitely not a rigid corporate firm! We are a friendly, collaborative team of 10 who thrive on a welcoming, "family-feel" office environment where everyone supports one another.
We pride ourselves on real human connection, direct teamwork, and high-quality local service. If you have a positive, "can-do" disposition and want to grow with us, we offer excellent long-term career progression as our business expands.
Operational Working Structure
Due to the operational requirements of physical block inspections, key handling, emergency contractor management, and required attendance at evening leaseholder meetings, this position is strictly 100% on-site and field-based. Our team operates entirely in-person from our Southampton office, making this position ideal for a professional who genuinely thrives within a vibrant, collaborative office environment.
What We Offer (Why Join Us?)
- Salary: £27,500 - £35,000, entirely dependent on your property management experience and qualifications.
- Workplace Pension: Enrolment into our NEST workplace pension scheme.
- True Career Progression: Genuine opportunities to step up into senior responsibilities for a candidate with long-term goals.
- Great Work-Life Balance: Dedicated daytime hours of Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm, with no weekend working.
- A Supportive Team: Work alongside a small, dedicated team where your hard work is genuinely noticed and valued.
- Professional Development: Full financial funding and paid study leave for TPI / RICS qualifications.
- Perks & Environment: Beautiful marina office location at Shamrock Quay with free parking provided, mileage allowance for site visits, and additional flat-rate out of hours meeting allowances.
The Role
As a Property Manager, you will take day-to-day ownership of a localised block portfolio. Bring your positive energy to the office every day as you handle:
- Acting as the primary, trusted point of contact for our leaseholders and Directors.
- Overseeing reactive and planned maintenance, coordinating with trusted local contractors.
- Preparing, managing, and monitoring annual service charge budgets (with full support from our accounts team).
- Carrying out regular site inspections to ensure health, safety, going through Section 20 when required.
- Attending periodic evening leaseholder meetings (for which a flat-rate financial reimbursement applies).
What We Look For (Experience & Skills)
- A "Can-Do" Attitude: A positive, solution-focused mindset and an excellent phone manner.
- Experience: Ideally 1–2+ years of experience within residential block management or property management.
- Driving Licence: A full UK driving licence and your own vehicle are essential for local site visits and meetings.
- Commitment: Someone looking for longevity, stability, and future professional growth.
- Qualifications: RICS/TPI qualifications are advantageous, but we will fund these for the right person.
