Block Management Childs Hill

Childs Hill'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'd like to say a huge thank you to our Estates Manager, despite having a number of issues to manage across our large site, when I asked about a particular issue in our block (a lift that was out of order) her response was both understanding of the situation, 100% professional and handled with her usual good grace. Oh yes, and effective (even if the lift company seemed to be less so) as the lift is now back in action. This is only one thing that I'd like to say thank you for - and I do want to say a huge thank you!"

"Had a problem with apartment fire alarm so I called property services manager who explained what would happen and personally followed up. This was for me exceptional customer service here in Prospect Place, Cardiff"

Richard Evans 132 days ago

"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 Childs Hill

Childs Hill, located in the London Borough of Barnet, has transformed from a rural area into a vibrant suburban neighborhood. Originally part of the larger Hampstead Heath estate, the area was sparsely populated until the 19th century when the expansion of the railway made it more accessible. As transport links improved, Childs Hill evolved into a desirable residential area, attracting families and professionals looking for a quieter, more affordable alternative to central London. Its strategic location between Hampstead and Golders Green further boosted its appeal, making it an increasingly popular destination for those seeking suburban living with easy access to the city.

Today, Childs Hill is characterized by a diverse range of properties, from period homes to modern developments, making it an attractive option for both first-time buyers and seasoned investors. The area’s real estate market has benefited from its strong transport connections, including nearby tube stations and bus routes that offer quick access to central London. With ongoing developments and regeneration efforts in the surrounding areas, Childs Hill remains an appealing location for property investors and homeowners. As the demand for housing continues to grow, property and block management services have become increasingly important in maintaining the area’s residential spaces and ensuring their long-term value.
