Block Management Edgware

Edgware'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.


Block Management Reviews

"The team were extremely helpful when it came to maintenance. They knew the ins and outs of the apartments appliances and manage to fix the problems quickly. They were quick to responding to request and were able to answer any questions we had! Definitely a solid team. Also big thanks to Elle for everything she’s done and helping me navigate the app!"

"I don’t usually trust estate agents due to past experiences, but the lettings advisor has completely transformed my perception. From the very beginning of trying to rent with her, it was immediately clear that she is exceptional at what she does. Her professionalism and intelligence shine through in every interaction. She has such a smart, proactive approach to her work, always anticipating potential questions or concerns before they arise. I was impressed by how efficiently she handled every detail, making what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process feel incredibly smooth and manageable. Her communication skills are outstanding—she kept me fully informed at every stage, responding quickly and thoroughly to any queries I had. Even when things got complicated, she remained calm and solutions-focused, ensuring that I never felt lost or uncertain about the next steps. What truly sets her apart is her genuine care. She doesn’t just go through the motions; she takes the time to understand your specific needs and provides tailored guidance. I’ve worked with other estate agents in the past who made me feel like just another number, but the personal touch has completely earned my trust. She’s incredibly reliable and has such a warm, approachable attitude, which made me feel comfortable from the start. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does and takes pride in delivering top-notch service, which makes all the difference. I honestly can’t recommend her enough—she's someone you can count on to make the rental process not only easy but also enjoyable. With her at the helm, I truly feel like I’m in the best hands possible."

"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."

Edgware - Cultural Scene

History of Edgware

Edgware is situated in northern Greater London, mostly in the borough of Barnet. However, small parts fall within the borough of Harrow, and in the borough of Brent. Edgware is 9.5 miles from central London. The original name is Saxon, and means "Ecgi's weir." Ecgi is thought to have constructed his weir on what is now the Edgware Brook. Ecgi's people either caught fish, or irrigated his field. Over the centuries, the original name was replaced: by 1489, the name became Edggeware.
Until the 13th century, the area was mostly forest. By the end of the 16th century, it centred on mixed agricultural use, for example, production of hay and the selling of cattle. By the 17th century, Edgware was a small market, with trades including butchers, tailors, charcoal sellers and brewers. The market was held once a week, and eventually stopped in the 1790s. Hay production was prominent in the area, until the mid 19th century. 

In 1867, Edgware station was opened as the northern terminus on the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway. The line ran from Finsbury Park to Edgware via Highgate. Although there was a tram service from 1904, it was the extension of the Underground railway from Golders Green, and opening of Edgware Underground station in 1924, that led to further building growth. By 1930, Edgware acquired a shopping centre, and suburban streets. 
In 1921, Edgware's population was 1,516; and in 1931 it was 5,352. By 1961, the population was 20,127; however, in 2022, the population was recorded as 76,056.
