Block Management Eastleigh

Eastleigh'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.

History of Eastleigh

Eastleigh, a town in Hampshire, southern England, has a long and varied history. Its name is believed to originate from Old English, with "East" meaning east and "Leah" referring to a clearing or meadow, signifying its location as an eastern settlement near a forest or open land. Originally a small village, Eastleigh's significant growth began in the 19th century when the railway arrived. The opening of Eastleigh railway station in 1838 marked the town's transformation, turning it into a key railway junction. The completion of the Southampton to London railway line in 1909 further boosted its importance in transport and commerce.

Eastleigh’s prosperity accelerated during the Victorian era and early 20th century, driven by the establishment of the Eastleigh railway works. This made the town a major engineering hub, providing jobs and economic growth. However, the decline of the railway industry in the late 20th century led to changes in the town's economy, shifting towards residential and commercial development. Today, Eastleigh is a dynamic town blending its historical roots with modern amenities, offering a thriving community, expanding population, and a vibrant cultural scene.
