Block Management Bellingham

Bellingham'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.

"I highly recommend it"

"Five Stars"

Pranika Batra 89 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 Bellingham

Bellingham’s history dates back to the medieval period, with its name believed to originate from the Old English “Beornhelmsgeham,” meaning "the village or settlement of Beornhelm." Initially a rural area, Bellingham was mostly farmland and woodland until the 19th century when it began to develop as part of the expanding suburbs of London. The area remained sparsely populated until the mid-19th century, when the construction of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway provided better access to central London, spurring residential growth.

In the early 20th century, Bellingham became more urbanized, with housing estates and schools being built to accommodate the growing population. The opening of the Bellingham railway station further improved accessibility, making the area increasingly desirable for families and commuters. After World War II, the construction of additional housing estates helped to meet the demand for homes in the expanding metropolis. Today, Bellingham is a primarily residential area in the London Borough of Lewisham, known for its diverse community and green spaces, including Beckenham Place Park. Its proximity to central London, combined with affordable housing, makes Bellingham a popular choice for those looking for suburban living with excellent transport links.
