Block Management Angel

Angel '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.


Block Management Reviews

"This morning I got locked in my flat as the door handle came out, the door closed and got stuck. I called the GMV concierge, two members of the team came to help me right away. They were lovely and they tried to comfort me while they were doing the work. They managed to open the door and fix the issue in a short time. Thank you both so so much!"

"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 Angel

Angel traces its origins back to medieval times, taking its name from the Church of St. Angel, believed to have been founded in the 12th century. Originally a rural area, Angel's location along a key route from the City of London to the northern suburbs made it a natural hub for travel and commerce. The opening of the Angel Inn in the 16th century reinforced its status as a popular stop for traders and travelers. As time passed, Angel's strategic position near central London made it increasingly attractive for residential growth and urban development.

In the 19th century, Angel played a significant role in London’s industrial era. The arrival of the railway network accelerated the area's transformation, leading to the construction of factories, warehouses, and housing for workers. In the 20th century, the neighborhood underwent waves of gentrification, drawing in professionals, families, and creatives looking for central access and cultural vibrancy. Today, Angel is celebrated for its mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture, lively shopping streets, and diverse cultural attractions. From rural beginnings to a modern, desirable neighborhood, Angel’s evolution reflects the broader growth of London itself.
