Block Management Greenwich

Greenwich'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.

History of Greenwich

Greenwich, located in southeast London, has a rich and storied history that is deeply connected to its maritime heritage and royal ties. The area was first recorded in Anglo-Saxon times as "Gronewic," meaning "green port," underscoring its early significance as a riverside settlement. During the Tudor period, Greenwich rose to prominence as the site of the Palace of Placentia, a royal residence where notable historical figures such as Henry VIII and his daughters, Mary I and Elizabeth I, were born. Although the palace was eventually demolished, its legacy endures through the historic buildings that replaced it, such as the Royal Naval College, which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the 17th century.

Greenwich continued to evolve throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, becoming a hub for scientific and maritime advancements. The establishment of the Royal Observatory in 1675 played a key role in the development of navigation and timekeeping, leading to the adoption of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as the global standard. Greenwich’s maritime history is celebrated through significant landmarks such as the Cutty Sark, a 19th-century tea clipper, and the National Maritime Museum, which houses one of the most comprehensive collections of maritime artifacts in the world. Today, Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that seamlessly blends its historical significance with vibrant cultural attractions, offering stunning riverside views and a wealth of heritage for visitors and residents alike.
