One woman’s mission to revolutionise block management
K
ate Boyes, founder of evolutionary property-tech company Resident, has today launched SELF, her latest Software
as a Service (SaaS) brand. SELF, a cloud based block management tool, has been designed specifically for those who self-manage residential blocks. Kate has been letting and managing property
for 15 years and has had the opportunity to meet many savvy property owners and talk about their wish list for making block management more accessible. An online dashboard, easy enough to use from day one and crucially, affordable for those that self-manage, was the answer. SELF is service charge accounting made simple. It generates service charge demands, creates year end reports and records supplier invoices and leaseholder service charge receipts. Because Kate is a chartered surveyor and regulated by the RICS and ARLA, SELF is designed to help directors of Resident Management Companies comply with relevant landlord and tenant legislation. Commenting on the launch Kate said “Through
my work I recognised a need for a cost-effective solution that modernises block management and
makes it more user friendly and transparent. Being able to combine technology with a passion for property to create genuinely useful tools for the residential property market is very exciting”. A serial entrepreneur, Kate’s career was
launched 15 years ago when she won a Property Week essay competition about what would have the greatest impact on real estate over the next decade. Before the term ‘prop-tech’ was coined, Kate predicted ways in which technology would enable and support the development of smart buildings. Since then, Kate has set up an award winning
letting and block management agency and founded Resident Block Management Software. For more information about SELF contact Kate Boyes at
