About

At Resident we are revolutionising the block management industry.

Our mission is to be an industry leader in the provision of block management software. Our ambition is to help our clients apply best practice to the management of their block and we provide them with cloud based tools to help them do this.

Resident was created by Kate Boyes, a chartered surveyor and property manager who has been letting and managing property for 15 years. Through her work Kate recognised a need for a more cost-effective solution that modernises block management and makes it more accessible and transparent, and so Resident was born.

Kate has a first class honours degree in Land Management from the University of Reading specialising in Investment & Finance, and trained at Nelson Bakewell (now Capita Symonds), a Property Consultancy, in London. She qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 2004, and is a Fellow & Board member of ARLA.

Kate established Alexandre Boyes Residential lettings in 2003 and Alexandre Boyes Estate & Block Management in 2007. The award winning teams have been shortlisted and won silver in The Times & Sunday Times Letting Agency of the Year Awards and The Sunday Times / Times Property Awards and won Lettings Office of the Year at the West Kent Property Awards. Not only that, Alexandre Boyes won Property Management Company of the Year in 2015 at The Negotiator Awards.

In it’s first year, Resident has won bronze for Best Online Business in the Kent Digital Awards and was a finalist for the Best Services Provider at the News on the Block Property Management Awards.

Kate has recently launched SELF, block management software designed specifically for those that self manage their residential block.  For more information visit www.selfblockmanagement.com
