Block Management Edgware Road

Edgware Road '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.

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'.

It's a fantastically run apartment block!"

"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 Road - Cultural Scene

History of Edgware Road

Edgware Road is situated inner west of London, in the borough of Westminster. It is 3.1 miles from the centre of London. Before the Romans, today's Edgware Road began as an ancient trackway, within the Great Middlesex Forest. In Roman times, from AD 43-410, Britannia was a province of the Roman Empire. Roads were originally designed for military use, created by the Roman Army. Edgware Road is one example, as the Romans incorporated its original ancient track, into Watling Street. Out of interest, it runs for 10 miles in an almost perfectly straight line.
In 1711, the road was improved by the Edgware-Kilburn turnpike trust: established by an act of Parliament, that granted powers to collect a road toll, for the upkeep of the road. Local inns - some of which still exist - functioned as stops for coaches.
Huguenots were French Protestants who fled from persecution by Roman Catholics. England was the ideal place to seek refuge, as a Protestant nation in the 18th century, and welcomed such refugees, as part of the skilled workforce. In the Georgian era, many Huguenot refugees settled in Edgware Road.
In 1863, during the Victorian period, a major breakthrough for London, was that the world's first underground railway was opened. In the same year, Edgware Road was opened as part of the Metropolitan Railway; and was situated between Paddington and Farringdon. Today, there are two Underground stations in close proximity, both named Edgware Road: one is on the Bakerloo Line, and the other is on the Hammersmith & City, Circle and District Lines.  

In the late 19th century, there was a period of increased trade with the Ottoman Empire, and the area subsequently attracted Arab migrants. In the 1950s, the trend continued, as Egyptians settled in Edgware Road. The Lebanese Civil War, (1975-1990), the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, (1979), and the Algerian Civil War, (1991-2002), brought more Middle Eastern people to the area. At the southernmost part of Edgware Road, there are a high concentration of Arabs; and there are many Lebanese restaurants and shisha cafes, along the street. The Odeon cinema often shows films in Arabic.
Edgware Road has been referred to as "Little Beirut" or "Little Cairo". It remains to this day a busy area, with a variety of cultures, languages and ethnicities: East meets West.
