Block Management Hackbridge

Hackbridge'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

"The village manager and the maintenance engineer provided surprisingly good service when I had an issue here on my estate in Greenwich. They responded quickly, popped round the next day and sorted my issue. The maintenance engineer also explained how everything worked and what I needed to do going forward. I wish all engineers were this good."

History of Hackbridge

Hackbridge’s history dates back to the early medieval period when it was part of the parish of Mitcham. The name "Hackbridge" is believed to be derived from the Old English word "hatch," referring to a type of gate or bridge, which is fitting given the area’s location near a water crossing. For much of its early history, Hackbridge remained a rural settlement, with the land primarily used for farming and agriculture. Its peaceful, pastoral character persisted for centuries, as the area remained relatively untouched by the urbanization of surrounding regions.

 

The 19th century marked a pivotal change for Hackbridge with the arrival of the railway, which spurred significant growth in the area. The new transport links made Hackbridge more accessible, prompting the development of housing estates and transforming the area into a residential district. By the 20th century, Hackbridge also became known for its industrial activities, particularly in the production of chemicals and various goods, marking a shift from its agricultural past. Today, Hackbridge is predominantly a residential area that blends its historical agricultural roots with the conveniences of modern suburban living, offering a quiet yet connected lifestyle for its residents.
