Block Management Elm Park

Elm Park '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 Elm Park

Elm Park, located in the borough of Havering, East London, has a history dating back to the 18th century. The area’s name originates from Elm Farm, which was established in 1777 during the reign of King George III. Initially a scattered settlement of farms south of Hornchurch, Elm Park saw significant development in the 1930s when a large housing project aimed to accommodate a population of 35,000 people. The plan included schools, shopping centres, and even a cinema, but due to financial constraints, only 500 houses were built. Despite this, the development attracted working-class families from overcrowded areas of London, contributing to the suburban growth of the area.

The opening of the Ford Motor Company factory in nearby Dagenham in 1931 played a key role in the development of Elm Park, as workers sought homes in the area. The completion of Elm Park station on the District Line in 1935 further boosted the area's growth. During World War II, however, much of Elm Park’s housing was destroyed during German bomb raids, particularly due to the nearby RAF Hornchurch base. Following the war, the area was rebuilt as part of a larger council housing project. Today, Elm Park is a relatively affluent suburb within Greater London, known for its residential charm and proximity to central London.
