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.

History of Chichester

Chichester, located in West Sussex, boasts a rich history dating back to Roman times. The town was established as a Roman settlement called "Noviomagus Reginorum" and became the administrative center of the region. The remnants of this Roman heritage, such as the city walls, the Roman bathhouse, and Fishbourne Roman Palace, still stand today, offering a glimpse into its ancient past. Chichester’s importance continued through the medieval period, when it became a prominent ecclesiastical center, home to the stunning Chichester Cathedral, which dates back to the 11th century. The town also developed as a market hub, thriving on trade and agriculture.

Over the centuries, Chichester grew into a prosperous market town, benefiting from its strategic location and strong religious influence. During the 16th century, the town underwent significant changes under the Tudors, with the dissolution of the monasteries and the construction of new buildings. The 18th and 19th centuries saw the expansion of Chichester as a cultural and artistic hub, with the establishment of the Chichester Festival Theatre in 1962 cementing its reputation as a cultural center. Today, Chichester continues to blend its historic charm with a vibrant arts scene, attracting visitors and residents alike who appreciate its rich heritage.
