Block Management Bromley

Bromley'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.

"Our relationship manager has been excellent. She is competent, clearly knows her job and equally importantly is responsive to emails and keeps people in the picture."

Sandy Buchanan 86 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 Bromley

Bromley, located in southeast London, is a historic town and the principal center of the London Borough of Bromley. The name Bromley is derived from the Old English words “brom” (meaning broom, a type of shrub) and “leah” (meaning clearing or meadow), indicating its origins as a rural settlement. For centuries, Bromley was a market town known for its agriculture and pastoral surroundings. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century transformed Bromley into a prosperous suburban area, attracting London commuters seeking a quieter lifestyle outside the city.

In the modern era, Bromley has grown into a vibrant commercial and residential hub, combining shopping centers, green spaces, and cultural venues. The town maintains its historic charm alongside modern amenities, with landmarks such as the Churchill Theatre and Bromley Palace. Bromley continues to be a sought-after location for families and professionals, blending tradition with contemporary suburban living.

Most prestigious roads in Bromley

While Bromley lacks the ultra-prestigious roads found in central London, several residential areas within the borough are renowned for their character, historical interest, and quality of living. These locales are particularly attractive to families and professionals seeking a blend of suburban tranquility and convenient access to central London.

  • Bromley Common in Bromley: Famous for its residential leafy streets and proximity to local amenities.

  • Chislehurst in Bromley: The neighbouring suburb marked by affluent residential areas, a historic village centre, and architecture dating back to the 18th century.

  • Bickley in Bromley: Characterized by large Victorian and Edwardian houses in a suburban setting.

  • Hayes in Bromley: A mix of historic homes, modern developments, and green spaces.

 

While these areas can't compete in terms of prestige with a Mayfair or a Kensington in central London, families find them highly desirable for their quality of life, green space, good schools, and generally decent transport links to make Bromley a desirable area to live in.
