Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a ' money back guarantee ’.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

Block Management Overview

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.

As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a 'money back guarantee'.

We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

History of Aldersbrook

Aldersbrook, located in East London, has a rich historical background, with its name originating from the medieval Manor of Aldersbrook, established around 1512. The manor’s name is believed to have been inspired by the nearby Alders Brook, a minor river that marks the boundary between the London Boroughs of Newham and Redbridge. In the 14th century, the land was part of Naget Hall, which was later known as Naked Hall, within the manor of Wanstead. It wasn’t until around 1512 that the area became a separate manor, named Aldersbrook, after the river that runs through the region.

The area remained largely rural until the late 19th and early 20th centuries when significant development took place. The Aldersbrook Estate, an Edwardian housing development, was established during this period, transforming the area into a residential neighborhood. Surrounded by vast open spaces and parkland, including Wanstead Park, Wanstead Flats, Bush Wood, and the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium, Aldersbrook became an increasingly desirable place to live. Today, Aldersbrook is known for its unique combination of historical charm and modern living, offering residents a peaceful, green environment with close proximity to the city.
