We offer you the opportunity to work freely and independently, where you can enjoy autonomy and flexible working and have the work life balance of your choice.

Our service offering is designed to help you operate profitably and compliantly, in line with legislation and regulatory matters. Working in partnership with a team of block management specialists will help give you peace of mind that a trusted and compliant partner is in your corner, encouraging growth and supporting your property management journey every step of the way.

HEAR WHAT SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY

SAMAS / (DIRECTOR OF) THE PROPERTY INSTITUTE

SAM MASSEY

I have been approached countless times in the last 20 years to consider starting my own managing agent and have finally decided to take the plunge. I know I will have the backup I need from B-hive to deliver the engaged, collaborative, management service that I believe in. I can’t wait to get started.

DOMAIN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

EMMA BONHAM-GRANT

Having only really started trading in the early summer of 2022, I have already managed to take on 13 blocks with the assistance and support of my block management partner, B-hive. I have others in the pipeline, so it has been an extremely encouraging start.

APW LEASEHOLD
MANAGEMENT

ANDREW WHEELER

I have been running my block management business for about 4 years, the last 12 months in partnership with B-hive. During this period, I have felt fully supported which has allowed me to get on with the day to day running of my business. The assistance, guidance and training has proved to be invaluable.

PURE LEASEHOLD MANAGEMENT

TOM LEAN

As a block manager with over 16 years experience I had many times been asked by clients why I had not set up on my own. Whilst this was always a life goal I had always felt that setting up on my own was something that was simply not possible. I would lose the support available to me as an employee, such as the in-house accountancy team, senior colleagues’ advice, experience and support and the knowledge that the company I work for would provide top down support and guidance on the compliance and legislative factors that form such an integral part of day to day property management. It was only when the opportunity to partner with B-hive who could help me fill in these gaps that I was able to turn my ambition into a reality. I have the support of an extremely knowledgeable “back-office” team, if it be a question on the latest Fire Safety Act, how to enforce a specific term in a lease or organising fire door safety checks, building re-instatement valuation or insurance, I know that there is always someone at B-hive who is there to help. I am able to offer my clients a local dedicated and highly personal service and knowing that I have the support of B-hive gives me re-assurance that I can provide my clients with market leading support, advice and services. This certainty allows me to present my company to potential clients openly, clearly and confidently. I am delighted that over the past 12 months the number of units under my management has doubled.
