Job description

Johnson Burke is a boutique residential property management company specializing in block and estate management for Residents’ Management Companies (RMCs), Right to Manage (RTM) companies, and Freehold Company directors.

We focus solely on residential properties and do not deal with sales or lettings. As a small, professional, family-run business, we take pride in offering a personal service. Every building we manage is different, so we tailor our management approach and proposals to suit each property, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

We believe in excellent customer service, clear communication, sensible financial planning, and value for money. Service charge funds are carefully managed, with operating costs and reserve funds kept separate to support long-term planning. Above all, we aim to be approachable, accountable, and genuinely helpful to leaseholders and board members.
