Block Management Finchley Road

Finchley Road '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

"We’ve had a truly great experience with The Mailbox Apartments, and I felt it was important to share some positive words. From the start, the service has been fast, smooth, and genuinely helpful. A special mention goes to the lettings advisor—her kindness, care, and professionalism stood out from day one. She acted promptly to resolve any issues we faced and made us feel genuinely supported throughout. It’s rare to find that level of personal attention, and it really made a difference. Thank you to the whole team for making our experience so easy and stress-free!"

"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 Finchley Road

The area of Finchley Road is to the north of London, in the borough of Camden. It is 6 miles from the centre of London. The original name Finchley New Road, was built as a turnpike road from the late 1820s to early 1830s. This proved to be a convenient by-pass to the existing route, north from London, through Hampstead. At this time, the road was bordered with fields. In 1826, the Finchley Road Act was passed, and in 1835, the new turnpike road was completed. In the early Victorian era, many grand houses were built along the length of Finchley Road, especially near Fortune Green, Childs Hill and Golders Green. Around 1850, the Atlas Line, a stagecoach business, operated along Finchley Road. In 1856, there were around ten stagecoaches a day, that ran along Finchley Road and the Swiss Cottage area. 

In 1860, Finchley Road St. Johns Wood was opened on the Hampstead Junction Railway, for the connection to the North London Railway. Today, this is the Finchley Road and Frognal station, on the Overground Line. Nearby, in 1879, Finchley Road station was opened on the Metropolitan Railway. Today, Finchley Road Underground station is on the Metropolitan and Jubilee Lines. In 1888, West End Lane station opened on the Hampstead Junction Railway. Today, this is West Hampstead, on the Overground Line. These new railway stations initiated urban development. For example, in 1890, the area appeared similar to the way it does now. By 1880, omnibuses arrived at the area north of Swiss Cottage, as far as Finchley Road station. The omnibuses later extended along Finchley Road, to meet others from Edgware Road along West End Lane, and continued north to Childs Hill and Hendon. By 1911, in the early years of King George V (1910-1936), motorbuses replaced omnibuses.Today, Finchley Road is a desirable place to live, and popular with affluent people. There are many new building projects under way.
