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.

History of Fairlop

 

Fairlop, located in the northeastern part of London within the London Borough of Redbridge, has evolved from a largely rural area into a growing suburban neighborhood with a mix of residential and commercial properties. Historically, Fairlop was known for its agricultural roots and its rural landscape, but the area began to develop in the 20th century as London expanded. The arrival of the Central Line in the 1940s significantly improved the area's accessibility to central London, making it an attractive location for those seeking suburban living with good transport links. Over time, Fairlop saw the development of housing estates, and its proximity to green spaces such as Fairlop Waters further enhanced its appeal.

Today, Fairlop’s real estate market is characterized by a blend of post-war semi-detached homes, modern developments, and spacious family properties. The area is particularly popular with families and first-time buyers due to its relatively affordable housing compared to more central parts of London. Fairlop's excellent transport connections, with the Central Line providing direct access to key areas such as the West End, combined with its green surroundings and local amenities, make it an attractive option for those seeking a peaceful yet connected lifestyle. As the demand for housing continues to grow, property and block management services have become increasingly essential to maintain the area’s housing stock and support its expanding population. With its ongoing development, Fairlop remains a desirable and rapidly developing location in East London’s real estate market.
