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 East Ham

East Ham is situated in east London, in the borough of Newham. It is 8 miles from the centre of London. The first known name "Hamme" is within an Anglo-Saxon charter of 958: King Edgar (r. 959-975), granted the Manor of Ham, which was undivided at that time, to Ealdorman Athelstan. In 1037, a subsequent charter of land, identified with East Ham, indicated that the first division of the territory occurred between 958 and 1037. 
The area name originates from Old English "hamm" and means "a dry area of land between rivers of marshland". This refers to the location of the settlement within boundaries formed by the rivers Lea, Thames and Roding, and their marshes. The earliest recorded use of the name East Ham, as distinct from Ham or West Ham, is in 1204, as "EstHam". The terms East and West Ham applied to ancient parishes in place, by the end of the 12th century. 
Agriculture was prominent in East Ham in the 18th century. Farmers began to grow potatoes and other garden produce on a commercial scale, and small crafts and trades continued. In the mid 19th century, East Ham was still a village. However, it began to attract obnoxious trades. For example, in 1861, a factory in Romford Road made animal charcoal. In 1879-81, there were complaints raised about a horse slaughterer's factory at the top of Red Post Lane. Despite local peoples' dissatisfaction, this factory continued until 1886.
From the 1880s, intensive rebuilding replaced the old rural East Ham. However, there was an issue of poor quality housing that frequently broke building regulations. Slums remained an issue, although ironically, the 1890s was a period when East Ham was growing faster than any other town of its size in England. In recent years, although there has been a building regeneration project in the area, there remains a problem of poverty today. 
In 1858, East Ham station was opened by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. The line ran from Bow to Barking. In 1902, the first Underground District Railway started; and in 1936, the Metropolitan Line service, (now the Hammersmith & City Line), was introduced. The East Ham Underground station we know today, is on the District and Hammersmith & City Line.

East Ham - Cultural Scene

Local Culture and History in East Ham

East Ham is a London suburb, located within the London Borough of Newham. The district was rich in varied history and culture. A fair idea about the history and culture of this district is as follows:

History: The history of East Ham dates back to the Saxon period and was in those days a rural district, famous for its agriculture and fishery. It underwent considerable development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through the railways and housing growth. It was incorporated as part of the County Borough of East Ham in 1915 and has since formed part of the London Borough of Newham, created in 1965. Being close to the docks, East Ham was an obvious target for heavy bombing during World War II, and as such, it had to be rebuilt largely after the war.

Culture: East Ham is all about diversity, with its people of South Asian, African, Caribbean, and Eastern European origin. It has diversification in cultural offers that include the traditional markets, old-fashioned shopping on Green Street, to very exuberant community events and festivals extruding all cultures throughout the year. Various cuisines, religious centers, and community centers round off its multicultural canvas.

Given the history of East Ham, which has come a long way from its humble, rural origins to the status of a busy metropolitan settlement; its diverse component due to immigration; and a rather happy cultural scene, it gives this part of London the dynamic identity that has been uniquely shaped by the past and current influence.
