Block Management Colindale

Colindale '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.

History of Colindale
 

Colindale, located in the London Borough of Barnet, has undergone significant transformation in recent decades, evolving from a largely suburban area to a vibrant residential hub. Historically, Colindale was a rural area, but its development accelerated in the 20th century with the expansion of transport links, particularly the Northern Line extension in the 1920s. The area's proximity to central London made it increasingly attractive to commuters, and its transformation from farmland to residential space has been particularly noticeable in recent years. The rise of modern developments, including new housing estates and apartment complexes, has contributed to Colindale’s growing popularity as a desirable place to live.

Today, Colindale offers a diverse real estate market, with a mix of new-build apartments, mid-century homes, and larger family properties. The area’s affordability compared to more central parts of London, combined with its strong transport connections—especially with the Northern Line providing direct access to central London—makes it an appealing option for first-time buyers, families, and investors. Colindale's ongoing regeneration, along with its proximity to green spaces such as the nearby Silkstream Park, further enhances its appeal. As the area continues to develop, property and block management services play a key role in maintaining the quality of housing and ensuring long-term value for both homeowners and investors. With its strong growth potential, Colindale is becoming an increasingly sought-after location within the London real estate market.
