Block Management Earls Court

Earls Court '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 history and culture in Earls Court

History of Earls Court

Earl's Court in inner west London, originates to the time of the Norman Conquest, when the de Veres held a court at the manor. These were named the Earls of Oxford in 1141, hence, according to Cyril M. Harris author of What's in a Name?: Origins of Station Names on the London Underground, came about the name Earl's Court. 
Originally fertile farmland, Earl's Court's development emerged in the mid to late 1800s, after the arrival of the railway line (the station was built in 1869). The area officially became part of London in 1889, when the London County Council was formed and the city's boundaries extended. The area became famous for the Earl's Court Exhibition Grounds, set up by John Robinson Whitley in 1887, featured rides and an arena which hosted Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. A giant wheel was added in 1897.
After the Second World War, many Polish immigrants arrived in the area. This led to Earl's Court Road's name 'The Danzig Corridor'. In the late 1960s, large numbers of Australian and New Zealand travellers, led to the new nickname 'Kangaroo Valley'. The area is now becoming very gentrified.

  • Redcliffe Gardens: A picturesque road with grand townhouses and a leafy, residential atmosphere.

  • Warwick Road: A prime street with a mix of stylish apartments and Victorian homes, close to shops and transport links.

  • Cromwell Road: A busy but prestigious road offering easy access to key museums and galleries in South Kensington.

  • Brompton Road: Another prime road in the area, lined with upscale hotels, high-end shopping, and luxury homes.
