Buying and Managing Blocks of Flats
At TX Properties, we focus on the long-term ownership and management of blocks of flats. We acquire well-located buildings and aim to make the sale process straightforward and professional for property owners.
Tao Xu, Director of TX Properties, brings a background in banking consultancy to the property sector, ensuring every acquisition is carefully assessed and financially grounded.
Tao explains our approach:
“We take a long-term view. By holding entire blocks of flats, we provide certainty for vendors during the sale process and stability for tenants over time.”
For property owners, this means a transparent process, efficient handling, and outcomes designed to work for all parties involved.
Where We Buy
We focus on locations with a good supply of blocks of flats and consistent rental demand. By targeting areas with established buildings, we are able to purchase with confidence and ensure a straightforward, professional process for property owners who choose to sell.
Team of professionals
At TX Properties, our team combines expertise in property, finance, and asset management to ensure every purchase is handled with care and professionalism. We place strong emphasis on thorough assessment and clear communication, making the process straightforward for property owners.
TX Properties began with investments in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and has steadily evolved into the specialist ownership and management of blocks of flats. This experience gives us the knowledge and confidence to manage acquisitions smoothly and reliably.
Sell with Confidence
We work directly with property owners who are considering selling blocks of flats. Our approach is professional, transparent, and designed to make the process as straightforward as possible. By focusing on clear communication and efficient handling, we provide certainty for vendors and ensure transactions are completed with minimal disruption.
If you are thinking about selling, we’d be happy to have a confidential discussion.

Case Studies
Our professional team brings many years of experience in the property sector, including the successful acquisition and management of blocks of flats across different locations.
The case studies below, drawn from the work of James Lynch and his business #TheTitleSplitConsultant, have been selected as a showcase of the types of projects we target. They highlight how complex transactions can be approached with professionalism, clear communication, and respect for both vendors and tenants—values that guide the way we work with property owners today.
Grade 2 Listed Mixed-Use Block, Haverfordwest
A grade 2 listed mixed-use block in Haverfordwest had been on the market for some time, with several unsuccessful attempts to sell through auctions and agents. The vendor was dealing with ongoing uncertainty and unresolved maintenance, including a leaking roof that caused water damage in one of the top flats. The property’s listed status and repair needs made the sale more complicated. A pre-auction offer was made and accepted, allowing the vendor to move forward without further delays. After the sale, responsibility for repairs and legal matters was taken on by the buyer. The transaction provided the vendor with a clear and timely resolution to a prolonged sales process.
Old Coronation School, Pembroke Dock, West Wales
The Old Coronation School, a large property converted into 40 flats, had been on the market for an extended period. The vendor, who was relocating overseas, needed a straightforward and reliable sale. Previous attempts to sell, including through auction, had not been successful, and market uncertainty added further complications. An offer was made and accepted, with clear communication maintained throughout the process. The transaction was managed to ensure completion despite challenges with valuation and timing. The sale allowed the vendor to proceed with relocation plans without further delays or complications.
