About the role
Property Manager — Greater London. Self-employed profit-share role, not a wage. You keep 35% of every property under management that KJ Properties allocates to you. We hold the landlord / freeholder relationships; you own the day-to-day management. You'll cover residential block management support and portfolio property management: inspections, contractor sign-off, tenant liaison, arrears follow-up, deposit handling per the scheme rules, Section 20 consultation support, and coordination with KJ trades for reactive maintenance. Your allocation sits in the KJ portal — properties, tenants, upcoming inspections, open tickets, service charge cycles. Tickets are recurring (management fee per unit per month) so a well-managed book compounds — the calculator above shows what a settled book at 35% share clears. Suits an experienced property manager (ARLA Propertymark route ideal) with a genuine service ethic. Not for someone without lettings/block experience — this is regulated work.
Responsibilities
- Manage a book of allocated residential units end-to-end
- Complete quarterly / annual property inspections and photo-log via the KJ portal
- Coordinate KJ trades for reactive and planned maintenance
- Handle tenant queries, arrears follow-up and check-in/check-out
- Manage deposits per the tenancy deposit scheme rules
- Support Section 20 consultations for major works on managed blocks
- Produce monthly landlord / freeholder reporting
- Escalate safeguarding, ASB and legal matters to KJ per the escalation matrix
Requirements
- Time-served residential property management experience
- Familiarity with AST, tenancy deposit schemes and Section 21/8 processes
- Right to work in the UK
- Professional indemnity insurance
- Smartphone / laptop for the KJ portal
- Clear, calm written communication with tenants and landlords

Do the work, get paid your share
Complete the job, mark it done in the portal. KJ invoices the customer. Your share lands on the regular payment cycle — no chasing, no unpaid quotes.
The KJ Portal is rolling out through 2026 — until then, early hires are onboarded and dispatched directly by the KJ ops team. Same profit-share, same transparency.
Why KJ, not a company job
A plumber does 3–4 jobs a day; a surveyor 2–4; a solicitor a handful of matters. The client pays hundreds — often thousands. You take home a fraction. The company keeps the rest.
