Block Management Barnehurst

Barnehurst'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

"Just got our new flat at anaconda, the staff were great throughout the process, great communication, very fast and efficient which made us move in with ease, so grateful for her help!"

Tyler Baxter 142 days ago

"The estate manager and maintenance team came to my flat today regarding a blocked sink. We tried to figure out if it was the waste stack (outside of the flat) or inside. Eventually, they deduced it was inside, which is my responsibility of course. However, they both were keen to try a few options and after several different attempts, they cleared the block in the sink. Very prompt, friendly and quick to respond. Thanks to both for their help!"

Susie R 14 days ago

"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 Barnehurst

Barnehurst, located in the London Borough of Bexley, has a history shaped by its development as a suburban area in southeast London. The name Barnehurst likely combines Old English elements meaning “barley” and “wooded hill,” reflecting its agricultural past before urbanization. Originally part of Kent’s rural landscape, Barnehurst remained farmland and open countryside until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The arrival of the railway, particularly the opening of Barnehurst station in 1895, played a pivotal role in transforming the area by encouraging residential growth and making it accessible for commuters traveling to central London.

Throughout the 20th century, Barnehurst developed into a lively suburban community with a mix of housing, local shops, and schools. Despite modern development, Barnehurst has maintained a close-knit community feel, supported by parks and recreational facilities. Today, Barnehurst balances its historic roots with modern suburban living, offering residents a peaceful environment with excellent transport links and easy access to the wider London area. The area continues to thrive as a popular residential neighborhood in southeast London.
