Block Management Gants Hill

Gants 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.

"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 Gants Hill

Gants Hill, located in the London Borough of Redbridge, has a rich and evolving history that reflects the broader urban development of East London. Originally a rural landscape characterized by farmland, open fields, and country estates, the area began to see gradual growth during the late Victorian period. The name "Gants Hill" is believed to derive from the le Gant family, who were local landowners in the medieval era. However, it wasn’t until the 20th century that Gants Hill underwent a significant transformation. A key milestone came in 1947 with the opening of Gants Hill Underground Station on the Central Line, which provided direct access to central London and helped stimulate a wave of residential and commercial development in the area.

The mid-20th century saw rapid suburban expansion, with new housing estates built to accommodate London’s growing population following World War II. Gants Hill soon became known for its suburban charm, blending modern apartment buildings and post-war homes with earlier Edwardian and interwar properties. Its tree-lined streets, excellent transport links, and close proximity to green spaces like Valentines Park made it a popular destination for families and commuters. Over the years, the area has continued to develop, becoming a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood with a wide range of shops, restaurants, schools, and community facilities. Today, Gants Hill is a well-established part of East London, offering a dynamic blend of historical roots and modern conveniences, all while maintaining a strong sense of community
