Block Management Fairlop

Fairlop'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

"Had a great experience with the lettings advisor, nice and helpful."

Mojgan Mortazavi 37 days ago

"I've lived at Anaconda Cut for a few years now and been a pleasure staying here for so long. Particularly my time here has been made a lovely experience thanks to the staff that keep the building running so smoothly. Whether it's Elle always with a smile at the front desk, planning some super fun socials for the residents, Shane helping swiftly with any maintenance issues and never leaving us in an apartment with a single problem unresolved, Antonia helping with any apartment queries or Simon and Jay greeting us at concierge with a smile and warm welcome."

"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 Fairlop

Fairlop’s history traces back to the 16th century, with the name derived from the iconic Fairlop Oak, a massive tree that once served as a central meeting point for the local community. This oak, said to be one of the largest in England, was a landmark that shaped the area’s early identity. For centuries, Fairlop remained part of the Manor of Ilford, with its landscape dominated by farmland and a rural charm that provided a peaceful retreat from the rapidly urbanizing surrounding areas.

The late 19th century brought the first signs of change, but it was the arrival of the London Underground in the early 20th century that spurred significant growth in the area. With improved transport links, Fairlop transformed into a suburban neighborhood, attracting families seeking proximity to London while maintaining access to nature. Despite its suburban development, Fairlop has retained much of its historical character, with open spaces and parkland that preserve the area's scenic beauty. Today, it remains a desirable place to live, offering a harmonious blend of history, greenery, and modern amenities.
