Block Management Dulwich

Dulwich '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.

"The housekeeper for our block is a legend"

Ace 62 days ago

"The letting advisor has been absolutely spot-on. Always quick to sort things, proper sound, and no messing about. Had a washing machine on the blink recently, and she got it sorted faster than I could put the kettle on. "

Vinay Choudhary 61 days ago

"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."

Dulwich - Cultural Scene

History of Dulwich

Dulwich, located in South London, has a history dating back over a thousand years. The first recorded mention of Dulwich was in 967 AD, when King Edgar granted the land to one of his thanes. Its name is derived from Old English words meaning "meadow where dill grew." In 1127, the land was given to Bermondsey Abbey, which held it for 400 years. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Henry VIII sold Dulwich to goldsmith Thomas Calton in 1538. In 1605, Edward Alleyn, an actor and entrepreneur, purchased the manor and established the College of God's Gift, a charitable foundation.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Dulwich evolved from a rural village into a desirable residential area. The establishment of Dulwich Picture Gallery in 1817, the world's first purpose-built public art gallery, marked a cultural milestone. The expansion of London and the arrival of railways in the 19th century spurred development, transforming Dulwich into a suburban district. Edward Alleyn's foundation, now known as Dulwich College, played a significant role in shaping the area's educational and architectural landscape. Today, Dulwich retains its historical charm while thriving as a vibrant and affluent part of London.
