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.

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.

"I had a great experience with your customer service team. He was friendly, patient, and very helpful throughout the call It was clear he genuinely cared about resolving my issue about the property Service charge and make sure I was satisfied. It’s rare to find such excellent support ,thank you"

Bashir Noori 60 days ago

"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!"

Rachel Lewis 80 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 Chingford

Chingford, located in the northeast of London, has a rich history that dates back to medieval times. It was first recorded as "Cingefort" in the Domesday Book of 1086, during the reign of Edward the Confessor. The name is believed to be derived from the Old English words cingel (shingle) and ford, referring to a crossing point on the River Lea. By 1181, the area had become known as Chingeford, and the All Saints Church, dating back to this period, remains the oldest surviving building in the area.

The development of Chingford accelerated in the 19th century with the opening of Chingford Station in 1873, making it more accessible and attracting visitors, particularly to nearby Epping Forest. The forest was officially granted to the public by Queen Victoria in 1878, through the Epping Forest Act, ensuring it remained free and unenclosed for recreational use. This move cemented Chingford's reputation as a gateway to the forest and contributed to its growth as a desirable location for both residents and visitors. Today, Chingford is a blend of historical charm and modern amenities, making it a vibrant part of East London.
