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 Cheshunt

Cheshunt is a town in Hertfordshire, and is situated 13 miles north of central London. The town's name originates from the Old English name "Cestrehunt", which probably means a "castle, erected by the Romans". The first syllable "cestre" derives from the Latin "castrum", meaning "fort". This is commemorated in the arms of the former Cheshunt urban district council. 
The parish church of St. Mary the Virgin was first recorded in a charter of 1146. However, it was entirely rebuilt between 1418 and 1448. 
Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth I, (r. 1558-1603), lived at Cheshunt in the care of Sir Anthony Denny, after she left Queen Catherine Parr's household in 1548. 
In 1825, during the Regency period, one major change was the opening of the Cheshunt Railway. It ran from the town's High Street to the River Lea, near the present-day Cheshunt station. This was originally a 0.7 mile horse-drawn line, and the first passenger-carrying monorail, and the first railway line to be built in Hertfordshire. In 1846, during the Victorian era, Cheshunt station was opened, on the Eastern Counties Railway. The Cheshunt station we know today, is on National Rail. 
During the 19th century, tradespeople in the area included retailers, shoemakers, farriers, wheelwrights and agricultural labourers. The nursery industry developed rapidly, as soil in the surrounding area was rich. By the end of the 19th century, nurseries flourished more than the artisan trades. London was close enough to deliver flowers, both by horse and cart and along the River Lee Navigation. Many new techniques for growing under glass were developed here. Thomas Rochford was prominent in the nursery industry. However, by the late 1960s, the nursery industry disappeared: glasshouses were re-developed into housing estates.
Notable people from Cheshunt include Cliff Richard, the singer; Michael Dobbs, writer and politician; Billy Joe Saunders, boxer; and Ralph Creed Meredith, Chaplain to George VI and Elizabeth. Victoria Beckham went to school in Cheshunt.  
Cheshunt is pleasant and affordable, with plenty of open green space. In 2019, it was named the best place for commuters to live.
 

Most prestigious roads in Cheshunt

The 10 most pricey roads in Cherwell

Cherwell is an area of Oxfordshire, UK, rather than a town in its own right with specific streets constituting its area, as perhaps occurs with parts of London. By that very divergent definition, then, this does not have the same kind of known, truly quality streets as cities like London or Surrey.

Whereas there might be several towns and their associated villages within Cherwell District in Oxfordshire, complete with their local streets and attractions, these are not generally known for their prestige when compared to central London or other posh areas.
