Block Management Camberwell

Camberwell'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.

History of Camberwell

Camberwell’s history dates back to medieval times, with its name believed to derive from the Old English words “cambre” (meaning a bend or curve) and “well” (meaning a spring or stream), likely referring to a bend in a local watercourse. Originally a rural village, Camberwell was part of the manor of Southwark and remained relatively quiet until the 18th century. It was during the 1700s that Camberwell began to evolve into a more suburban area as London expanded. The construction of new roads and the establishment of the Camberwell Green area made it an increasingly popular location for wealthy Londoners looking for a retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle.

In the 19th century, Camberwell became part of London’s urban sprawl, with the development of housing and the arrival of the railway, which further accelerated the area’s growth. It became a hub for artisans, intellectuals, and artists, and over time, the area became known for its vibrant community and diverse population. Today, Camberwell is part of the London Borough of Southwark and offers a mix of Victorian housing, green spaces like the popular Camberwell Green, and modern amenities. It is known for its arts and cultural scene, with a variety of galleries, theatres, and creative spaces. Its central location and excellent transport links to central London make it a sought-after area for both families and professionals.
