Block Management Becontree

Becontree '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.

"Moving into Anaconda Cut has been a fantastic experience! A huge shoutout to our letting agent, who went above and beyond to make the process seamless. From the very first inquiry, she was responsive, patient, and genuinely cared about ensuring we found the perfect apartment. She explained everything clearly, kept us updated every step of the way, and even made time to address all our questions (no matter how small!). It’s rare to meet someone so professional yet approachable—she made what could have been a stressful process completely stress-free. The building itself is incredible, with top-notch amenities that truly elevate the living experience. Simon at reception deserves special thanks for being so helpful during our move-in—his friendly and accommodating nature made settling in so much easier. On top of that, the community here is fantastic! The residents are welcoming and kind, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. If you’re looking for a new home, I couldn’t recommend Anaconda Cut enough. The entire team here make it an experience to remember!"

"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."

Becontree - Cultural Scene

History of Becontree

Becontree, located in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, is a notable example of early 20th-century planned housing development in London. The name Becontree originates from an ancient hundred—a historic administrative division—reflecting the area's deep historical roots. Originally rural and largely undeveloped, Becontree was transformed dramatically between the 1920s and 1930s when the London County Council built one of the largest public housing estates in the world. The Becontree Estate was designed to provide affordable, quality homes for thousands of Londoners, marking a major shift in urban planning and social housing. This large-scale development helped shape the area’s identity and played a key role in addressing post-war housing shortages.

In the decades following its construction, Becontree evolved from a newly built suburb into a thriving community with schools, parks, and local amenities. Despite some challenges over time, Becontree has maintained a strong sense of community and continues to benefit from regeneration projects aimed at improving living standards and facilities. Today, Becontree remains an important part of east London’s urban landscape, embodying a significant chapter in the city’s social and architectural history, while offering a vibrant and diverse environment for its residents.

Most prestigious roads in Becontree

Becontree, being essentially a residential district in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, basically does not possess any traditionally known "prestigious" roads like most of the central or posh districts in London. However, it does boast many residential streets and avenues that are esteemed within the local community. Following are some of the notable roads in Becontree:

  •  Gale Street: Gale Street interlinks via Becontree and consists of prospective residential housing with local amenities, which can be termed as a central road interlinking different parts of this locality
  • Wood Lane: Norwood Lane is the other prominent road of Becontree having residential properties on both sides and access to local shops and schools or other community attributes.
  • Becontree Avenue: Becontree Avenue is the main road passing through Becontree, with mixed residential housing and shops/businesses, forming the main artery for the district.
  •  Green Lane: Green Lane has a similar mix of residential property but is located immediately alongside local parks and green spaces. This would lend a much more sedate residential feel to Becontree.

 

Though such kinds of roads do not correspond to their classical meaning concerning the idea of luxury or even prestige, they shape the residential infrastructure of Becontree. They create vital links and facilities for the local community - giving the place its own identity and way of life.
