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.

"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

History of Bromley

Bromley’s history dates back to the early medieval period, with its name believed to come from the Old English “bromleah,” meaning “broom-covered clearing,” referring to the area’s natural landscape. Originally a rural village, Bromley was an important market town in the county of Kent, thriving due to its location along key transport routes. The town's growth accelerated in the 19th century, particularly with the arrival of the railway in 1858, which connected Bromley to central London and made it a popular destination for commuters and those seeking suburban living.

As London expanded, Bromley continued to grow throughout the 20th century, with residential developments and the construction of more public amenities. It became part of Greater London in 1965 and has since developed into a bustling town with a mix of commercial, residential, and cultural offerings. Today, Bromley is a thriving suburban town in the London Borough of Bromley, known for its excellent shopping facilities, such as the Glades Shopping Centre, as well as its green spaces like Bromley Common and nearby parks. With good transport links to central London and a variety of schools and local amenities, Bromley remains a desirable area for families and professionals seeking a balance between suburban life and city access.

 

Most prestigious roads in Bromley

Although there are not traditionally any "prestigious roads" in Bromley, London, there are a few notable residential areas and roads known for character or historical interest or quality of the living environment. Some of the areas noted by Bromley include:

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

2. Chislehurst: The neighbouring suburb that is marked by affluent residential areas with its historic village centre and many of these houses' architectures dating back as far as the 18th century.

3. Bickley: It is characterized by big Victorian and Edwardian houses in suburbia.

4. Hayes: a mix of historic homes, modern developments, and green spaces.

5. Short lands: village feel with Victorian and Edwardian houses and parochial stores.

6. Keston: Such a village with its rural atmosphere has historic buildings abiding therein.

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.
