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."

History of Brighton

Brighton has been a very populated area since at least the 17th century, and the town hall in the area provides evidence that the citizen's control over town affairs predates 1580. The parlimentary consituency of Brighton was created in 1832, due to the Great Reform Act and in 1889, Brighton attained its county borough status.

With regards to the Hove, it was a small parish at the end of the 18th century, Hove exapanded along with Brighton in the early 19th century, and in 1832 became incorporated into the parlimentary consituency of Brighton. In 1992, a government commission was set up to conduct a review of local government arrangements, this then led to the unification of Brighton and Hove in 1997.

Most prestigious roads in Brighton

High Culture Hits the Streets

Brighton is in East Sussex, not London. So it doesn't have the posh roads in common with Central London and another wealthy suburbs. This is not to say that there aren't neighbourhoods, locations, or even roads on which properties are rather not desired places. For example, some specious areas worth mentioning are: 

1. Marine Parade.: A good seafront road with views of the sea and beach, and buildings of the Victorian and Regency periods with some landmark hotels and restaurants.

2. Lewes Crescent:An imposing residential crescent in Kemp Town of fine Regency townhouses, all having an aspect to the sea.

3. Eastern Road: A balanced arterial road entering Brighton from the east, lined with pretty period housing; the city center and seafront are but a pretty short distance away.

4. Dyke Road Avenue: An attractive tree-lined avenue leading out of the city center northwards; has large detached houses and is hardly any distance at all from Preston Park.

5. Preston Park Avenue: This runs alongside Preston Park and consists of large Victorian and Edward ward touching houses; it is one deciding place to live in the good parts of Brighton.

However, while these streets and areas may be known for their character and highly desirable properties, it is not in Mayfair, Belgravia, or Chelsea that the appeal of Brighton rests; it is in its vibrant cultural life, its seaside fun, and its varied communities.
