Managing Estates Ltd
Chester
Riverside House, River Lane, Saltney, Chester, Cheshire, CH4 8RQ, Chester
Frustrated by industry complacency, we founded EPM to put leaseholders first. With 50+ specialists managing 9,000 units nationwide, we deliver transparent, RICS-regulated block management and 24/7 support that ensures your service charge delivers genuine value.
We believe leaseholders deserve better. Founded in 2014 by Ashley O’Brien, Estates Property Management (EPM) was born out of a desire to challenge industry complacency. We don't just manage buildings; we protect your home and your investment by putting clarity, accountability, and your voice at the heart of everything we do.
National Reach with a Local Touch
While our headquarters are in Chester, our reach extends across England, Wales, and Scotland. With dedicated property managers on the ground in London, Dundee, and Glasgow, we combine the robust infrastructure of a national firm with the responsive, personal service of a local partner.
We currently manage over 190 unique developments, comprising approximately 9,000 residential units. This scale allows us to negotiate better rates for our clients while maintaining the individual attention each building deserves.
Why Homeowners and RMC Directors Trust Us
We know that service charges can be a source of stress. That’s why we’ve redefined the management experience to be as transparent as possible. When you work with us, you aren't just hiring a firm; you're gaining a partner dedicated to the long-term health of your community.

Led by Experts, Driven by Service
Our team of over 50 professionals is led by Managing Director Ashley O’Brien. Our senior leadership, including Danielle O’Brien and Chris O’Brien, is supported by regional specialists like Avril Morrison, who leads our Scottish operations.
Whether we are handling complex Right to Manage (RTM) claims, navigating Property Factoring in Scotland, or managing on-site concierge and porters, our staff are supported through recognised training programmes to stay ahead of legislative changes.
