Block Management in Newport

Newport has a rich stock of Victorian buildings, from the villas of Stow Hill and Clytha Park to terraces across Maindee and Baneswell, many of them now divided into flats. Apartment blocks have been added in the city centre and along the River Usk, and the city's excellent rail links to Cardiff, Bristol and London keep demand for flats strong. Westbridge Block Management looks after residential blocks across Newport, combining full block management with years of construction and renovation experience.

The Newport buildings we look after

• Large Victorian villas converted into flats, some in conservation areas
• Terraced conversions with shared roofs, drainage and rear access
• City-centre apartment blocks with lifts and secure entry
• Riverside developments with parking and landscaped grounds

Welsh requirements, handled as standard

Leasehold management in Wales has its own rules. Service charge demands for Welsh flats come with the summary of rights and obligations prescribed by the Welsh Ministers, set out in Welsh and English, and ground rent demands use the Welsh prescribed form. Fire risk assessments for common parts follow the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, with Welsh Government guidance alongside it. We apply all of this as standard, so directors and leaseholders can rely on every notice being right.
