Block Management Colliers Wood

Colliers Wood '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.

Local Culture and History of Colliers Wood

History of Colliers Wood

Colliers Wood is situated in south-west London, in the borough of Merton. It is 7.7 miles from central London. In 1632, during the reign of King Charles I, (r. 1625-1649), Colliers Wood was first named, and referred to charcoal-burners. This is not to be confused with miners.
From 1755 onwards, a tollgate stood on the Merton Road. This is the High Street, Colliers Wood, today. This was on the site of the present station. At the time, an alternative village name of Singlegate was given. Around 1780, Colliers Wood House was rebuilt. This had been home to Elizabethan and later notables. 
By the early 19th century, mills originally used for grinding corn, were switching to printing textiles. These mills were situated beside the River Wandle. Colliers Wood was unusual, as an out-of-the-way place, because in 1851, only a twentieth of the population worked in agricrulture. This was a remarkably low proportion.  
In the 1870s, the 40-acre grounds of Colliers Wood House, began to be replaced with speculative building, first towards Tooting, then towards Merton. In 1904, the tollgate was removed. 


In 1907, a tram service began, and streets of terraced houses were built on land belonging to Emmanuel College, Cambridge. 
In 1926, during the reign of King George V, (r. 1910-1936), Colliers Wood station was opened as part of the Morden extention of the City & South London Railway, south from Clapham Common. This is the Underground station was know today, on the Northern Line.
In the early 21st century, there was an increase in housebuilding in Colliers Wood, partly because Tooting's growing popularity increased the desirability of neighbouring, more affordable localities.
