Block Management Finchley

Finchley '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.

Finchley - Cultural Scene

History of Finchley

Finchley, located in the northern part of London within the Borough of Barnet, has a rich history and a strong real estate market that has evolved over the centuries. Originally a rural village mentioned in the Domesday Book, Finchley saw significant development in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially with the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century. This improved connectivity to central London made Finchley increasingly attractive to commuters, helping it grow into a desirable suburban area. Throughout the 20th century, Finchley became a vibrant residential community, with large family homes, leafy streets, and a mix of period properties. Its accessibility, combined with the area's strong local amenities, contributed to its rising popularity.

Today, Finchley’s real estate market is diverse, offering everything from grand Edwardian houses and Victorian terraced properties to modern apartments and new developments. Its appeal lies in its relatively affordable housing compared to more central areas, alongside excellent transport links, including the Northern Line and nearby Overground stations, which offer quick access to central London. The area’s abundance of green spaces, such as Finchley Golf Club and Victoria Park, along with a thriving cultural and retail scene, makes it a popular choice for families and professionals. As demand for properties continues to rise, property and block management services play a crucial role in maintaining the area’s housing stock and supporting its growing community. With its steady growth and strong appeal, Finchley remains a sought-after location for homebuyers and investors in North London.
