Block Management Greenford

Greenford'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.

"The advisor has been amazing throughout my tenure at Anaconda. The events she organises are excellent and communications when there are issues (if any by the way) within the flat are top notch and I highly recommend anyone who moves in to anaconda to communicate with her"

Josh Ozdemir 178 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 Greenford

Greenford, located in the London Borough of Ealing, has a history that dates back to the 11th century. The area was originally known as "Grenanforda," which means "green ford," referring to a natural water crossing in the area that early settlers used. Greenford remained a predominantly rural settlement for centuries, with farmland and open fields dominating its landscape. The location's strategic position near water crossings made it an important settlement, and its agricultural economy remained the foundation of the community. This rural character continued well into the 19th century, when the arrival of the Great Western Railway began to reshape the area.

The arrival of the railway in the 19th century marked the beginning of Greenford’s transformation. The new transportation links provided greater accessibility to London, leading to an influx of residents and the gradual development of suburban housing estates. By the early 20th century, Greenford had grown from a quiet village into a more urbanized district. The development of local industries, such as the Avery Scales Factory, also contributed to the area’s economic growth. Manufacturing businesses flourished, and Greenford became a hub for various industries, which in turn attracted a growing workforce. Over the decades, Greenford continued to evolve, balancing its rural origins with the demands of urbanization. Today, the area is a blend of historical charm and modern development, offering a mix of residential areas, commercial centers, and green spaces, making it a desirable location for families and commuters alike.
