Block Management Anerley

Anerley'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.

"The company clearly has undergone some changes in recent months, I have gained some great support from a member of the office to team to help resolve a few areas of frustration. Whilst some issues are difficult to resolve in short times I have definitely had an empathetic and reactive response. I have been at a Ringley property for nearly a year and I value the reactiveness and patience of this team member"

"We have had a problem with noise from the flat above us in Lady Isle House Ferry Court Cardiff. We contacted a Mr Paul Staniforth who immediately became involved and addressed the situation. We really do appreciate what he has done for us and cannot thank him enough. Once again a big thank you to Mr Staniforth. The noise above was intolerable."

History of Anerley

A Brief History of Anerley

History of Anerley

Anerley’s history dates back to the early 19th century when it was primarily rural farmland and open countryside. The name "Anerley" is thought to be derived from the Old English words "æþeling" (meaning nobleman) and "leah" (meaning wood or clearing), suggesting a location of some distinction. The area saw significant change in 1851 with the arrival of the Crystal Palace in nearby Sydenham, which sparked a period of rapid development. As the Crystal Palace grew in popularity, Anerley’s proximity to this landmark led to the construction of residential properties, drawing middle-class families who desired easy access to London.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Anerley’s transformation continued with the expansion of South London and the development of the railway network. The opening of Anerley Station in 1857 was a major catalyst, making the area more accessible and helping it integrate into London’s growing urban sprawl. As the 20th century progressed, further residential developments and local amenities were established, contributing to Anerley’s steady growth.

Today, Anerley retains much of its Victorian charm, with a blend of period homes and modern housing. The area is celebrated for its green spaces, including the iconic Crystal Palace Park, and continues to attract new residents drawn by its quiet suburban atmosphere and excellent transport links to central London.

In conclusion, Anerley has evolved from a rural village into a vibrant, well-connected neighborhood that maintains its historic character while embracing modern living. Its combination of rich history, green spaces, and accessibility makes it a sought-after location for those looking for a peaceful yet connected place to live in South London.
