What We Do
Wise Living is an exciting and rapidly growing business, which provides high-quality, purpose-built single and multi-family housing for the private rental market.
Our aim is to revolutionise the private rental sector by challenging existing standards, creating and nurturing communities and, ultimately driving better living standards for our customers and tenants with an ambition to deliver 2,000 new homes each year.

Your life as a PRS Block & Estate Manager
This is a really exciting opportunity to work in the growing build to rent sector and focus on delivering a fantastic service for our residents and clients. Not only will you be involved in managing existing blocks, but will also have the opportunity to onboard new apartment blocks.
This job is as much about people as property. Regular site visits will be required to the Apartment Blocks and Estates located all around England including the North West, Midlands and the South East, and whenever you are at a Block or Estate you’ll be representing our brand out in the community.
You’ll have your own portfolio of PRS residential apartment blocks to manage as well as build to rent estates. With no leaseholders to manage due to our clients being large institutional investment Landlords, your focus will be on ensuring that the Blocks and Estates remain compliant and looking good. You’ll be responsible for identifying opportunities for improvement and relaying them to the Asset Manager. You will use trackers alongside our systems to monitor and record information, the accuracy of which is paramount.
With the support of the Asset Manager you’ll be expected to make sure residents’ issues are resolved, Compliance and Health and Safety testing is kept up to date, contractors are appointed, finances are in order with budgets managed accurately, queries are answered, and apartment blocks and estates are well maintained.

Experience of following processes and procedures to ensure that properties are being managed in line with company standards
Review and tender service contracts
Approve invoices in line with company timeframe
Ensure our blocks and sites are compliant from a Health and Safety point of view

Provide regular site inspection reports and ensure any issues are raised and works completed within SLA’s
Meet contractors on site when required
Carry out and oversee Section 20 consultations on long term agreements and qualifying major works
Prepare service charge budgets, review and report on expenditure monthly whilst keeping all tracking systems up to date.
