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 Elephant and Castle

The two main roads discovered in Elephant, Old Kent Road and Newington Causeway, roughly follow the route of two Roman routes, Watling Street and Stan Street, which originally ran from London Bridge to Londinium.

For most of his life, the settlements on both sides of this junction were Newington and Walworth, two separate villages nestled between vegetable gardens, fields and wilderness. With the construction of new bridges over the River Thames in the 18th century, the area became an elegant Georgian suburb, and during the Victorian era industry and transportation led to population growth. Until the turn of the century, the area was inhabited by a diverse population, ranging from large Georgian single-family homes to rustic courtyards and traditional terraces.

Many areas were destroyed by bombing during World War II. After that, 50 hectares of territory had to be reprocessed. High-density block of flats and large toll road systems have replaced terraced streets and bombing sites. Instead of a dance hall in the heart of the neighborhood, a power plant called the Michael Faraday Memorial was built to honor the local scientist who pioneered the study of electricity. The Elephant and Castle shopping center was built in the early 1960s and is a European premiere. Since then, it has been one of the defining aspects of the neighborhood. It is being refurbished as part of the New Town Center and is one of the main elements of an ongoing regeneration program with the Elephant Park.
