Block management in Cambridge
Block Management in Cambridge
08 October 2026
Cambridge combines tight-knit Victorian streets with some of the largest new neighbourhoods in the East of England. Terraced houses around Mill Road, Romsey and Chesterton have been converted into flats, CB1 has brought apartments and student homes beside the station, and Eddington, Great Kneighton and Trumpington Meadows have added thousands of new homes. Westbridge Block Management looks after blocks across the city, bringing years of construction and renovation experience to each one.
The Cambridge buildings we look after
- Converted Victorian terraces with shared roofs, drainage and boundary walls
- Apartment blocks in the station quarter with lifts, cycle stores and access control
- New-build blocks in growing neighbourhoods, often alongside estate charges for shared open space
- Buildings with a high share of residents on academic or research contracts, where clear communication matters
New neighbourhoods, clear responsibilities
In newer developments, the block's service charge often sits alongside an estate management company covering roads, landscaping and play areas. We set out clearly which costs belong to the building and which belong to the estate, keep developer warranties and defects periods on track, and make sure every leaseholder can see what they are paying for. Cycle stores, bin stores and communal heating get the same planned attention as the roof and the lifts.

Frequently asked questions
Do you manage new-build blocks in Cambridge?
Yes. We take on buildings from developers and from existing agents, track warranties and defects periods, and set up clear budgets from the first year.
What happens if our block also pays an estate charge?
We separate block costs from estate costs in the budget and accounts, and work with the estate manager so residents can see clearly what each charge covers.
How do you keep residents informed?
Each building has a named property manager, residents can report and follow issues, and we run an annual satisfaction survey so we can keep improving the service.
