Block Management Chingford

Chingford'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.

Block Management Reviews

"Our property manager was appointed this year and she's worked hard to bring our complex up to standard as we experienced a number of issues prior to her arrival. She is friendly, professional and really goes the extra mile. It's been a challenging year, and she's dealt with every challenge quickly, effectively and with a smile."

"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 Chingford

Chingford, located in the northeast corner of London within the Borough of Waltham Forest, has a rich history that has played a significant role in shaping its current real estate landscape. Originally a rural village, Chingford’s growth accelerated during the 19th century with the arrival of the railway, connecting the area to central London and making it a popular destination for commuters. The village's proximity to Epping Forest, combined with its good transport links, positioned Chingford as a desirable place to live, offering a mix of green space and urban convenience. Over the decades, Chingford's development into a suburban area saw the construction of housing estates, which further transformed the local real estate market.

Today, Chingford’s real estate market is a blend of charming period homes, modern developments, and spacious family properties, which continue to attract a diverse range of buyers. The area's appeal lies in its relatively affordable housing compared to more central London locations, alongside its proximity to nature reserves like Epping Forest. The strong transport links, including the Chingford railway station, make it a popular choice for commuters. As Chingford’s popularity grows, the need for property and block management services has also increased, ensuring that the area continues to thrive as a prime location for both homeowners and property investors looking for long-term growth.
