Block Management Amersham

Amersham's No 1 Managing agent

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 Amersham

Amersham is a historic market town and civil parish located in Buckinghamshire, nestled on the River Chess within the Chiltern Hills, 27 miles north-west of central London. The town’s name originates from Old English, meaning "Ealhmund's Village," with early references dating back to pre-Anglo-Saxon times as "Agmodesham." The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded the name as "Elmodesham," and by the Medieval era, spelling variations such as "Agmondesham" and "Amytysham" emerged. The town’s development accelerated with the granting of charters in the 12th and 17th centuries, facilitating markets and fairs that boosted local trade. Over time, Amersham became a key stop on the trade routes from London to Birmingham, contributing to its prosperity.

The town also played a significant role in religious history. During the reign of King Henry VIII, Amersham and nearby Chesham became centres of Protestant dissent, leading to the burning of seven Lollard martyrs in 1521 for their refusal to accept the King’s religious reforms. This division between Roman Catholics and Protestants left a lasting impact on the region. In the 17th century, Quakers found a community in Amersham, despite facing persecution. The arrival of the railway in 1892 further transformed the town, with Amersham becoming a popular commuter destination. Today, the town is a vibrant place, combining its historical charm with modern amenities, thriving with independent shops, restaurants, and beautiful period cottages, making it one of the best places to live in Britain.

Most prestigious roads in Amersham

  • The Broadway: A picturesque street in the heart of Old Amersham, lined with historic buildings, shops, and restaurants, preserving the town’s old-world charm.
