Block Management City of Winchester

City of Winchester'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.

"We’ve had a truly great experience with The Mailbox Apartments, and I felt it was important to share some positive words. From the start, the service has been fast, smooth, and genuinely helpful. A special mention goes to the lettings advisor—her kindness, care, and professionalism stood out from day one. She acted promptly to resolve any issues we faced and made us feel genuinely supported throughout. It’s rare to find that level of personal attention, and it really made a difference. Thank you to the whole team for making our experience so easy and stress-free!"

"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."
