Block Management Chadwell Heath

Chadwell Heath '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.


Block Management Reviews

"I wanted to pass on my huge appreciation to the site manager at Prospect Place for all the help and support especially over the last few weeks when Ringley decided to sort out the issue with the ongoing water leak since December 2023 as ReGen had basically washed their hands of the fact that they were quite clearly responsible. But it looks like we are on the home straight at last and I really cannot thank Suzanne enough. Nothing seems too much trouble for her and she has kept me in the loop with everything going on recently which is all I really wanted from the start. Also thank you to the Director for Wales & West, as he too sorted an issue for me which was much appreciated. "

"Amazing property management, specifically Antonia! She is very communicative, friendly, efficient and replies to all queries extremely quickly. The process for renting in anaconda is nothing but easy and seamless. It is a nice change from dealing with other property management companies that lack these qualities"

"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."

Chadwell Heath - Cultural Scene

History of Chadwell Heath

Chadwell Heath is in east London, on the boundary of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and the London Borough of Redbridge. It is situated 12 miles from central London.
In 1254, during the reign of King Henry III, (r.1216-1272), the name Chaudewell was recorded. This means "the cold spring". The name was first given to a settlement on the Barking (later Ilford) side of the ancient boundary between Dagenham and Barking, and it was also known as Chadwell Street. The "Street" was the older meaning of a hamlet. 
In the 17th century, the Blackheath Common in Dagenham parish was given another name, Chadwell Heath. The settlements then merged: thus Chadwell Street was replaced with the name Chadwell Heath. 
In 1864, during the reign of Queen Victoria, (r.1837-1901), Chadwell Heath railway station was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway. It was the "end of the line" for both the London tram system, and later the electric trolley bus service from Aldgate.
From 1900 onwards, suburban growth accelerated until World War I, (1914-1918); and then increased after the war. 
The area suffered severe bombing during World War II, (1939-1945). One horrific example was that a V2 rocket landed on Blackbush Avenue. Several people were killed, and windows were blown out for half a mile around. The council replaced the windows, with more modern frames.
Chadwell Heath's population has increased rapidly since the 19th century. In 1881, it was estimated that there were 587 people in the area. The 2011 census showed a total population of 24,278.
