Neon Property Services provides residential block management in Tower Hamlets for RTM companies, residents’ management companies, and freeholders. Tower Hamlets has one of the most diverse leasehold flat stocks in London — from Docklands-era high-rise developments to Victorian terrace conversions, from large-scale Canary Wharf-zone apartment schemes to smaller residential blocks in Bethnal Green, Bow, and Stepney.
We have managed blocks across Tower Hamlets for over 20 years. The borough has seen extraordinary residential growth and change over that period, and the management challenges it presents — complex buildings, engaged leaseholders, high-value properties with demanding compliance requirements — are ones we have direct experience of.
Tower Hamlets’ leasehold stock divides into distinct categories. The Docklands and Canary Wharf zone contains large-scale purpose-built apartment schemes, some of significant height, with complex plant and building services, high insurance values, and leaseholders with high expectations of management quality. These buildings often have professional management from day one but generate switching instructions when management quality has not matched expectations.
The residential streets of Bethnal Green, Mile End, Bow, and Stepney contain a significant Victorian and Edwardian conversion stock alongside post-war purpose-built blocks. These buildings tend to be smaller and often have RTM or share-of-freehold structures. The borough also contains significant housing association stock, with some blocks having a mix of social and private leasehold tenures that require careful management.
We manage residential blocks for RTM companies, residents’ management companies, and freeholders across Tower Hamlets.

Tower Hamlets has an additional HMO licensing scheme in operation. For block management of residential leasehold buildings, the key compliance obligations are the standard framework — fire safety, service charge, Section 20, buildings insurance — but the complexity varies significantly by building type. Larger Docklands-era blocks may approach the higher-risk building threshold under the Building Safety Act and require more intensive compliance management.
EWS1 assessments have been a consistent issue in Tower Hamlets, particularly for blocks built in the 1980s and 1990s with external wall systems of uncertain specification. We manage the EWS1 process for affected blocks in our portfolio, including engagement with mortgage lenders and the commissioning of qualified assessors.
We work with RTM company directors, RMC directors, share-of-freehold groups, and freeholders across Tower Hamlets. The borough generates both switching instructions from dissatisfied leaseholders and new-build management instructions from developers completing apartment schemes in the eastern part of the borough.
Switching in Tower Hamlets sometimes involves taking over blocks with complex compliance histories. Larger blocks in the Docklands area that have been managed by large national agents sometimes have extensive compliance records but with gaps in action completion and account transparency. Smaller residential blocks in the borough can have informal management histories that need to be professionalised.
We manage the switchover so there is no gap in management. We chase documents and funds from the outgoing agent, conduct a financial audit on day one, and give directors portal access from week one.
