Block Management Bracknell

Bracknell '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 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 Bracknell

Bracknell, located in Berkshire, England, has evolved from a small market town into a modern planned new town since its designation in 1949. The name Bracknell likely comes from the Old English words meaning “hillock” or “small hill.” Historically, Bracknell was a quiet rural village surrounded by forests and farmland. However, post-World War II development transformed it into a bustling residential and commercial center designed to accommodate London’s overspill population, with a focus on new housing, industry, and infrastructure.

In recent decades, Bracknell has continued to grow with significant regeneration projects, including new shopping centers, business parks, and leisure facilities. Known for its green spaces and good transport links to London and Reading, Bracknell offers a balanced lifestyle for families and professionals. The town’s blend of historical roots and modern amenities makes it an important hub within Berkshire.

Most prestigious roads in Bracknell

Bracknell is in Berkshire, therefore not London and it does not have "prestigious" roads in the classical sense as one might find in central London or other affluent areas. That notwithstanding, Bracknell has several appreciable residential areas and roads recognized for their pleasant surroundings, convenient location, and desirable amenities. These are some notable residential areas and roads in Bracknell:

  • Warfield Park: A good quality residential area in Bracknell with larger houses set in a parkland environment.
  • The Parks: These would include districts like Mill Park, Ranelagh Drive, and others around that area, having a leafy atmosphere and being more family-oriented.
  •  Windsor Forest: A mix of modern and older properties with access to local amenities in Bracknell and green spaces easily.
  • Binfield Road: This road links Bracknell with the nearby village of Binfield and provides a pretty route with residential properties along it.

 

Although these areas/roads would not be considered "prestigious" in the classical meaning of the word, it is understood that exclusive addresses exist in bigger towns. However, they are still very much valued by residents for their quality of life, community spirit, and accessibility to local amenities and green spaces.
