Block Management Chelsea

Chelsea'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 Chelsea

Chelsea, located in southwest London along the River Thames, has a long and rich history that dates back to the medieval period. The name Chelsea likely comes from the Old English words “Cealc” and “Hythe,” meaning “chalk wharf,” referring to the area’s riverside location. Originally, Chelsea was a small fishing and farming village surrounded by open countryside. With time, Chelsea attracted wealthy Londoners who built grand houses, turning Chelsea into a fashionable residential area. The arrival of railways and improved transport links in the 19th century helped Chelsea grow further, connecting Chelsea to central London and encouraging cultural development.

In the 20th century, Chelsea became famous as a cultural and artistic hub, home to writers, artists, and musicians. Chelsea’s streets and gardens inspired many creative minds, making Chelsea a centre of creativity and style. Today, Chelsea remains a prestigious and vibrant district known for its elegant architecture, high-end shops, and Chelsea FC. Excellent transport links, including Chelsea’s proximity to the London Underground, keep Chelsea well connected. Chelsea continues to blend its rich history with modern life, maintaining Chelsea’s reputation as one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
