Block management in Crosby and Maghull

Two neighbourhoods in south Sefton, a short train ride from Liverpool. Crosby has the beach and Antony Gormley’s Another Place; Maghull has the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

Block and leasehold management in Crosby and Maghull. We look after blocks of flats and estates here for resident management companies, Right to Manage companies, freeholders and residents, from our office on Hoghton Street, Southport.

About Crosby and Maghull

Another Place is 100 cast-iron figures, each weighing 650kg, spread along more than 3km of Crosby beach. They arrived in 2005 and became permanent in 2006.

Crosby’s conservation areas include Blundellsands Park, Moor Park, Waterloo Park and Christ Church. Moor Park has an Article 4 direction. Blundellsands and Crosby, Hall Road and Waterloo stations are on Merseyrail.

Maghull has two Merseyrail stations: Maghull, and Maghull North, which opened in June 2018. Damfield Lane conservation area was designated in 1991, with a new appraisal adopted in December 2025.

Sefton Council’s flood strategy records surface-water flooding and flooding from Dover’s Brook in Maghull. In Crosby, it notes that some sea defences are nearing the end of their design life.

Heritage and conservation

  • Blundellsands Park and Moor Park conservation areas (Moor Park has an Article 4 direction)
  • Waterloo Park and Christ Church conservation areas, both on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register
  • Damfield Lane conservation area, Maghull, designated in 1991

Worth looking out for

  • Flood risk. Check your building on the government’s flood risk service, and make sure your insurance reflects it.
  • Article 4 directions. In Moor Park, some small outside changes need permission.
  • Leaks and damp. Quick action on gutters and drains saves bigger bills later.

Every building is different. Book a call back and we’ll talk you through what matters for yours.
