Block Management Borehamwood

Borehamwood'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.

History of Borehamwood

Borehamwood, a town in Hertfordshire just outside the boundary of Greater London, has a rich history that has significantly shaped its modern identity. The area’s settlement dates back to prehistoric times, and it was primarily an agricultural region with farms and rural settlements. However, its transformation began in the 19th century with the arrival of the Midland Railway Company, which established a station in 1868. This development paved the way for Borehamwood’s growth, with the area becoming a mix of residential and industrial uses.

A major turning point in Borehamwood's history came in 1925 when Elstree Studios opened, linking the town to the British film industry. Over the years, the studios produced iconic films like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, solidifying Borehamwood’s reputation as a filmmaking hub. As London expanded throughout the 20th century, Borehamwood saw significant urban growth, with new residential areas developed to accommodate a growing population. Today, the town is a vibrant community with active cultural life, including the Elstree and Borehamwood Museum, which highlights its cinematic heritage. Its proximity to London, with excellent transport links, has made it a popular commuter town, while also benefiting from its roles in the media and entertainment industry, helping shape Borehamwood as a thriving suburban area with a dynamic local economy.
