Block Management Forty Hill

Forty Hill'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

"Our relationship manager has been excellent. She is competent, clearly knows her job and equally importantly is responsive to emails and keeps people in the picture."

Sandy Buchanan 53 days ago

"I’m soon to move in to my 1 bedroom apartment and just wanted to give a shoutout to the team. From a walk-in viewing to securing my 1 bed, she’s been nothing short of amazing. She’s gone above and beyond to help me through every step of the process and has been on hand to help day or night. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and every step of the journey has been smooth and easy. Thanks again"

Caitlin Bloodworth 188 days ago

"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 Forty Hill

Forty Hill, located in the northern part of Enfield, London, has a fascinating history that blends rural origins with modern suburban living. Originally, the area was farmland, and the name "Forty Hill" is thought to derive from a historical reference to forty farms that once dotted the landscape. The region’s rural character persisted for centuries, with a quiet village atmosphere and agricultural roots. However, during the 19th century, the arrival of the railway had a transformative impact, making the area more accessible and attracting new residents who sought the tranquility of a rural environment with convenient transport links to London. This marked the beginning of Forty Hill’s transition from a small village into a more developed residential area, while still retaining its historical charm.

Today, Forty Hill is known for its blend of historic properties, ranging from charming Georgian homes to modern builds, reflecting the area's evolution over time. The rich history of Forty Hill is also embodied in landmarks such as Forty Hall, a Grade I listed building dating back to the 17th century. This stately estate, surrounded by beautifully landscaped parkland, is a testament to the area’s agricultural past and serves as a focal point for both history and recreation. The harmonious mix of historical significance and modern living makes Forty Hill a desirable place to live and visit, offering a glimpse into the past while continuing to thrive as a vibrant and welcoming community.
