MIH – 3 pinnacles of property management

Practical, plain-speaking support for your investment – across block, residential and commercial portfolios

Over the last few years, things have changed quite drastically in the rental property management arena. New legislation, building regs and rising expectations have steadily changed the face of a business that we all used to know so well.

At MIH Property Management, it is our prerogative to be ahead of the changes. We help landlords protect income, reduce risk and keep buildings performing properly. How? With disciplined processes, preventative maintenance, clear communication and the sort of calm competence that stops small problems turning into major works.

Here’s how we support landlords across 3 key areas of property management:

1) Block Management

– keeping the building (and everyone in it) on track

Blocks are where the need for good property management becomes evident very quickly. With multiple stakeholders, shared responsibilities, strict lease requirements and the ever-present question,“What exactly are we paying for?”, block managers have a many layered task.
MIH’s approach to block management is comprehensive. We focus on what matters, we get things done, and we document it properly.

• Planned maintenance – not panic maintenance.
  We build sensible programmes that prioritise safety, compliance and long-term value. Regular inspections, preventative schedules, and clear maintenance planning reduce surprises (and unexpected invoices).
• Service charge governance that stands up to scrutiny.
  Clear budgets, transparent spend, proper reporting and an audit trail that actually exists when someone asks for it.
• Contractor management with standards.
  The right scope, the right spec, the right access, and follow-through on quality … because “we’ll pop back next week” is not a strategy.
• Communication that de-escalates.
  Leaseholders and residents need action, not just words. They need updates, timelines and answers that don’t hide behind confusing jargon.

2) Residential Property

– protecting rent, reducing voids, and keeping tenants happy

Our job is to help landlords achieve strong, stable returns while keeping the day-to-day running smoothly. That means:

• Tenancy support that prevents unwanted churn.
  Tenant retention isn’t about being “nice”; it’s about responsiveness, standards and managing expectations. Faster resolutions and clear processes reduce the reasons people leave.
• Maintenance that balances cost and asset performance.
  We don’t believe in throwing money at a property, but we also don’t believe in deferring everything until it costs double. We help landlords make sensible decisions that protect condition, compliance and rental appeal.
• Compliance and paperwork done properly.
  London landlords now operate in a high-scrutiny environment. Staying organised, consistent and proactive helps reduce risk – and avoids painful oversights.
• Clear reporting and no surprises.
  You should know what’s happening with your property without chasing for updates. We keep landlords informed – and avoid overwhelm.

3) Commercial Property

– operational control and stakeholder confidence

Commercial property comes with different kinds of pressures: tenants running businesses, stricter operational expectations, and a higher need for planning and documentation. We want to avoid reactive maintenance to ensure a site functions without friction.

MIH supports commercial landlords by focusing on:

• Operational reliability.
  Maintenance schedules, contractor coordination, access arrangements, and prompt issue resolution are important. Downtime impacts tenants, and tenant issues become landlord issues.
• Professional tenant relationships.
  Clear communication, sensible timelines and consistent standards create trust. When tenants trust the managing agent, negotiations are cooperative and problems are easier to solve.
• Budget management and long-term planning.
  Commercial assets benefit from forward-thinking management: planned works, lifecycle budgeting and proactive problem spotting.

Dependable, organised and proactive

Landlords across the capital don’t need more chaos, they need a managing agent who is on top of things, structured, responsive and comfortable making decisions. MIH’s role is to protect your investment, support your tenants and run your property in a way that stands up to scrutiny. If you’re tired of firefighting, unclear reporting, or the sense that you’re always one step behind, we can change that.
