Block Management Chichester

Chichester'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.

"The advisor was great at answering any questions I had and helped me understand my outstanding bills and breakdowns. Thank you!"

"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 Chichester

Chichester, located in West Sussex, boasts a rich history that has shaped its modern real estate market. The city, originally a Roman settlement known as Noviomagus, became a key regional hub throughout the centuries. As Chichester expanded, its proximity to the South Coast and strong transport links made it a prime location for both residential and commercial development. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the arrival of the railway further boosted its appeal, allowing Chichester to evolve into a bustling market town with significant potential for property growth. This growth has continued into the present day, with the city’s blend of historical charm and modern conveniences increasingly sought after by homeowners and investors alike.

In recent years, Chichester's real estate market has attracted considerable attention due to its increasing appeal as a commuter town and regional center. The city offers a variety of property types, from period homes near the city center to newer developments on its outskirts, making it a versatile market for different buyers. As Chichester’s popularity has grown, property management and block management services have become crucial in meeting the demands of an expanding residential population. With a steady influx of residents and a thriving local economy, Chichester is expected to continue evolving, solidifying its status as a prime location for both real estate development and long-term property investment.
