Block Management Clapham

Clapham'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

"The advisor has been amazing throughout my tenure at Anaconda. The events she organises are excellent and communications when there are issues (if any by the way) within the flat are top notch and I highly recommend anyone who moves in to anaconda to communicate with her"

"I’ve been really impressed with my experience working with our Relationship Manager. She was super helpful to solve an issue in my flat recently, sending someone out quickly ahead of a long bank holiday weekend. Thank you!"

Fleur Segrave 30 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 Clapham

Clapham, situated in the Lambeth Borough of London, has its history dating to medieval England. It began life as a suburb radiating out from where there was a big wide open public area named Clapham Common which has existed for centuries. It formed part of the 16th-century parish of St. Mary at Battersea and went on to develop further with its proximity to the London city center. Clapham was a less severe extreme area during the 18th century when the wealthy established their mansions there because it was being drawn towards the countryside with the added benefit of being close to the city. It was also at that time that Clapham Common was a good place for public and social life.

In the 19th century, the transformation of Clapham into a city town from a rural village town was in full swing. The development of the railways and expansion of the London Underground and railways made its residents accessible to this area further expanding the population base here. During Victorian times, the terraces as well as the large houses were constructed, and it was an affluent London suburb where the middle-class and wealthy individuals sought homes. Urbanization also did not come to a halt in the 20th century by industrialization as well as individuals moving to these work places. Today, Clapham is cosmopolitan and vibrant with a great nightlife, open green space, and old buildings.
