Block Management Crouch End

Crouch End'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 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 Crouch End

Crouch End is a vibrant, eclectic district in the northern part of London, located within the London Borough of Haringey. Its history stretches back to the 16th century when it was originally farmland. The name "Crouch End" is believed to derive from the old English word “crouch,” meaning a cross or crux, which may refer to a crossroad or the point where a path met a boundary, though there is some uncertainty about the exact origins of the name.

In the 19th century, Crouch End began to develop as a suburban area as the railway system expanded, bringing more people to live outside the crowded city centre. By the Victorian era, it had transformed into a middle-class residential neighbourhood, with large Victorian houses, wide streets, and an increasingly diverse population. Crouch End became a desirable place to live due to its green spaces and proximity to the city centre. It became known for its lively high street, a mix of independent shops, cafes, and pubs. Today, Crouch End is considered one of North London’s most desirable areas to live, known for its artistic atmosphere, historic architecture, and vibrant local community.
