Block Management Cottenham Park

Cottenham Park'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.

"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 Cottenham Park

Cottenham Park, located in the southwest of London, has a relatively modern history that began its transformation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally farmland, the area became part of London's suburban expansion as the city grew. As residential development took place, Cottenham Park was established as a leisure space, providing a park for local residents to enjoy outdoor activities. This development of housing and local businesses around the park helped to create a vibrant and self-sufficient neighbourhood.

Despite its relatively recent development, Cottenham Park has maintained a strong sense of community, offering a village-like atmosphere that makes it an attractive place to live. The area is well-known for its lush green spaces, including the nearby Wimbledon Common, which provides residents with ample opportunities for outdoor recreation. Over the years, Cottenham Park has become a sought-after suburban location, offering a mix of peaceful living and convenient access to the wider amenities of London. Today, it is celebrated for its parks, close-knit community, and easy access to some of London's best cultural and natural attractions.

cultural scenes in Cottenham Park

Cottenham Park in Wimbledon offers a vibrant cultural scene that blends community engagement with local heritage. The Friends of Cottenham Park play a pivotal role in organizing events such as annual tea parties and Christmas carol evenings, fostering a strong sense of community. Their efforts have led to the enhancement of the park's facilities, including the addition of benches and wildlife-friendly gardens, creating spaces for both relaxation and social gatherings.

The area's rich history is reflected in its architecture and institutions. Sacred Heart Church, a Grade II* listed building, stands as a testament to the area's development in the late 19th century. Designed by architect Frederick Walters, the church's construction spanned over a decade, with its nave opening in 1887 and completion in 1901. This historical landmark adds to the cultural tapestry of Cottenham Park.

Cultural diversity is also celebrated through religious institutions like Christ the King Church and the Wimbledon Synagogue, both located in the Wimbledon Park area. Christ the King Church, founded in 1913 and completed in 1928, serves as a hub for the local Catholic community.
