Request a build-stage quoteIcarus is a residential block management company built around a simple idea: that looking after someone's home and their money should be done carefully, openly and without fuss. We keep clear accounts, stay on top of compliance, and pick up the phone — because that's what good management looks like.
Lots of buildings stay with an agent they're unhappy with simply because they assume moving is a hassle. It isn't. We handle the heavy lifting and guide you through every step — most of our new clients are surprised by how smooth it is.
Whether you look after a single block or several, we'd welcome the opportunity to understand your needs and explain how we can help.

This policy covers information you send us through this website.
As a managing agent we also hold personal data about leaseholders, residents and contractors at the blocks we manage — names, contact details, service charge accounts and correspondence. That information is governed by our separate management agreements and data protection policy, not by this page. Confirm you have a separate data protection policy covering managed blocks
Our enquiry form asks for your first name, last name, email address, and whatever you write in the enquiry box. That is all. There is no tracking on this site.
We use it solely to respond to your enquiry and discuss whether we can act for you. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests — replying to someone who has approached us about managing a property. Where an enquiry becomes an appointment, we rely on performance of a contract.
We do not send marketing, and we do not add enquirers to any mailing list. We will only ever contact you about the enquiry you sent us.
We do not sell your information, and we never will.
Enquiries that do not lead to an appointment are kept for 6 months after our last contact with you and then deleted. Where an enquiry becomes a management appointment, records are kept for 6 years from the end of the appointment, because contract claims can be brought for six years under the Limitation Act 1980 and HMRC requires company records to be kept for six years.
This website does not use cookies, and there is no analytics or advertising tracking of any kind.
You can ask us to give you a copy of the information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict how we use it, or object to our using it. Email office@icarusproperty.co.uk and we will respond within one month.

Straight answers to the things people most often ask us about block management.
Ask us anythingWe handle the day-to-day running of a residential block on behalf of the freeholder, RMC or RTM company — collecting and managing service charges, arranging maintenance and repairs, keeping the building compliant and insured, preparing budgets and accounts, and being the point of contact for leaseholders. In short, we take the work and worry of running a building off your hands.
It's more straightforward than most people expect. Once you've given your current agent notice (we'll check the notice period in your management agreement), we handle the handover — collecting the funds, records, keys and documentation, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. We'll guide you through each step so the transition is smooth for you and your leaseholders.
A service charge is the money leaseholders pay towards the cost of running and maintaining the shared parts of a building — things like buildings insurance, cleaning, gardening, lift servicing, repairs, and a reserve fund for future major works. What's recoverable is set out in the lease, and we make sure every charge is reasonable, properly evidenced and clearly reported.
A Resident Management Company (RMC) is usually set up when a development is built, giving leaseholders a stake in managing their building. A Right to Manage (RTM) company is formed by leaseholders to take over management from the freeholder, using rights under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002. We work with both — and can guide leaseholders through setting up an RTM if that's the route you're considering.
All service charge and reserve funds are held in a ring-fenced client account, entirely separate from our own money and held on trust for your development. We also belong to an approved Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme, which protects your funds, and a government-approved redress scheme for independent resolution if anything ever goes wrong.
When a block faces major works or a long-term contract that will cost any single leaseholder more than a set threshold (currently £250 for works or £100 a year for agreements), the law requires a formal consultation with leaseholders before the work goes ahead. We manage the whole Section 20 process for you, so the costs remain fully recoverable and everyone is properly consulted.
We charge a transparent annual management fee, usually quoted per unit, agreed with you up front before we start — no hidden costs. Any additional or one-off services are agreed separately so you always know what you're paying for. We're happy to provide a clear, written quote for your development.
We manage residential blocks across Essex and the South East. If you're not sure whether your development is within our area, just get in touch and ask — we're always happy to talk it through.
