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

"This morning I sent to Dilara an email regarding the main drainage blockage, almost the next minute a plumber knocked my door! It was super fast, totally out of my expectation, thanks a million! I also asked the junior property manager for EWS1 form and Fire Risk assessment for remortgage purpose, she was very helpful as well. Thanks!"

"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 Forest Hill

Forest Hill is in the London Borough of Lewisham, in south-east London. It was only sparsely populated until the mid 19th century. Forest Hill was originally called "The Forest", which described the woodland that once covered the area.  
In 1809 the Croydon Canal opened, with a large number of locks. It was bought by the London and Croydon Railway Company, who used the alignment to construct the London Bridge to Croydon railway line, which opened in 1839. The ponds in the Dacres Wood Nature Reserve and retaining wall of the footpath opposite the station outside the pub, are the few pieces of evidence of the canal, which still exist.
