urbanbubble started out as a unique Property Managing Agent based in the heart of Manchester providing unrivalled Block and Estate Management. Our leaseholder centric service grew wholly from winning over established management companies demanding more. We've always taken pride on being a service that doesn't just manage...it cares, loves and tends to your home as you would yourself. Fast forward ten years, urbanbubble expanded nationally and saw the team caring for Build to Rent (BtR) schemes across Bath, Birmingham, London and Leeds. In addition, 1,500 rental apartments across Blackfriars, Deansgate Square’s West Tower, Anco&Co and Crescent, were added to our portfolio. We couldn’t be prouder of our journey and look forward to what the new decade has in store for urbanbubble. -- Recent Wins: Resident Property Management Agent of the Year 2020 (Insider Award) North West Residential Property Management Company of the Year 2016 & 2017 (Insider Award) Highly Commended Property Management 2014/2015/2016 (News on The Block) Bronze Negotiator award 2015 Best Residential Property Management Company 2015 Best Managing Agents of an RMC/RTM Block 2014-15 Best Manchester Property Company 2014
