Block Management Gidea Park

Gidea Park'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.

Cameron Brownsell 89 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 Gidea Park

Gidea Park, located in the London Borough of Havering, has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. Originally part of the larger Gidea Hall estate, which was owned by the Pettit family in the 16th century, the area remained largely rural until the early 1900s. The development of Gidea Park as a residential suburb was sparked by the opening of Gidea Park railway station, which provided a direct link to central London. This made the area increasingly popular for commuters seeking a peaceful, suburban lifestyle with easy access to the capital. As a result, the population grew rapidly, and the area became known for its large, well-designed houses set in tree-lined streets, offering an attractive and tranquil environment.

Gidea Park is also home to several notable buildings, including the historic Gidea Hall, a grand manor house that remains a significant feature of the area. The building, with its beautiful grounds, helps to preserve the area's historic charm, linking the suburb to its past. Today, Gidea Park continues to be a popular choice for families due to its quiet atmosphere, good local schools, and proximity to parks and green spaces, such as Raphael Park. The area successfully blends its historical roots with modern suburban living, making it an appealing place to live for those seeking both convenience and tranquility. Gidea Park's appeal lies in its ability to maintain its character while evolving into a thriving community that meets the needs of contemporary life.
