Block Management Deptford

Deptford'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 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'.

History of Deptford

The name Deptford derives from Division of the Parish. This is based on a ford across the Ravensbourne river, along the route of the Celtic trackway. Hence the name "deep ford" became the similar name Deptford. This was later paved by the Romans, and developed into the medieval Watling Street. Deptford featured in the pilgrimage route from London to Canterbury in Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, in the prologue to The Reeve's Tale. 
Deptford Dockyard was established by Henry VIII in 1513, as the first Royal Dockyard. It became a major shipping dock, where many famous names in history spent their time, including Peter The Great, ruler of the Russian Empire from 1862. He studied shipbuilding. The dockyard was mainly inactive in 1830, and although shipbuilding briefly resumed in the 1840s, the navy closed the yard in 1869. 

Deptford, located in southeast London, has a history deeply tied to its maritime heritage. Its name originates from "deep ford," referring to a crossing over the River Ravensbourne. During the Tudor era, Deptford became a significant naval hub with the establishment of the Royal Dockyard by Henry VIII in the 16th century. This dockyard played a vital role in shipbuilding and attracted notable figures like Sir Francis Drake, who was knighted aboard the Golden Hind here. Deptford also hosted Peter the Great of Russia, who studied shipbuilding techniques in the area. The dockyard's prominence shaped Deptford's identity for centuries. In addition to its naval significance, Deptford has connections to literary and historical figures. The area was home to Sayes Court, the residence of diarist John Evelyn, and was associated with playwright Christopher Marlowe, who met his mysterious end in Deptford. The town also witnessed the Battle of Deptford Bridge in 1497, where Cornish rebels were defeated by the king's forces. Over time, as the dockyard declined, Deptford transitioned into a residential and industrial area. Today, it retains its historical charm while embracing modern urban development, making it a fascinating part of London's history.
