Block Management Bow

Bow '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.

"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."

Bow - Cultural Scene

History of Bow

Bow, located in the East End of London, has a history that stretches back to Roman times. The area was originally known as “Londinium ad Bovium,” referring to a settlement near a cattle shed. During the Norman Conquest in 1066, Bow became part of the manor of Stepney, held by the Bishop of London. St. Mary’s Church, built in the 12th century, remains a key historical landmark in the area. However, it was during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century that Bow began to rapidly urbanize, with the construction of the Regent’s Canal and railways. These developments turned Bow into a hub of industry and working-class housing, and long rows of Victorian terrace houses were built to accommodate the growing population.

The 20th century saw further transformations in Bow, particularly in the wake of World War II. The area was heavily bombed during the Blitz, causing widespread destruction. Post-war reconstruction efforts brought about significant urban renewal, with the development of new housing estates and improved infrastructure. Today, Bow is a multicultural neighborhood, blending its historical roots with modern amenities. The area is known for its cultural diversity, with landmarks such as Bow Church and Mile End Park, alongside excellent transport links to central London.

Most prestigious roads in Bow

Mostly a residential district in East London, Bow doesn't have any roads that would be classified as 'prestigious' in the way so many others are deemed to be within the wealthier parts of London. That said, the residential roads and areas of Bow certainly have their character, and many parts are popular because of their access and community feel. Below are some of the key roads and areas of Bow:

  •  Tredegar Square: A historic square surrounded by Georgian and Victorian terraced houses; it is architecturally appealing and teaming with community spirit.
  • Bow Road: One of the thoroughfares in Bow that features a mixture of residential buildings, shops, and local facilities that interconnect Bow to Central London and other areas outside of the center.
  •  Roman Road: One of the major streets in Bow; it is famous because of the Roman Road Market It has a vibrant community it gives through its community hall and also both commercial and residential establishments within the area.
  • Grove Road: Located parallel to the Roman, it is a bit quieter thanks to the Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses to bring in a mixture of both the two.

 

Although Bow may not have the high-profile prestige of other areas in London, the roads and areas all have a community feel, historical charm, and easy access to amenities, parks, and transport links. These are bound to attract residents who appreciate such a diverse, dynamic, and well-bonded urban environment.
