Block Management Hainault

Hainault'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 Hainault

The history of Hainault stretches back to the early medieval period, when it was part of the Manor of Hainault, an area historically linked to the ancient Hainault Forest. The name “Hainault” is derived from the Old French word "haine," meaning a dense wood or forest, which reflects the region’s rural character in its early days. Hainault was once part of the vast Forest of Essex, which served as a royal hunting ground during the medieval period, contributing to the area's significance. Over the centuries, this rural landscape began to change, with the forest giving way to more settled lands, but the connection to its natural origins remained strong.

The 19th century marked a turning point for Hainault, with the arrival of the railway playing a crucial role in transforming the area from a rural district into a burgeoning suburban neighborhood. The ease of transportation attracted more people to the area, and by the 20th century, particularly after World War II, the development of housing estates helped Hainault evolve into a popular residential area. Despite the significant urbanization, the area has managed to retain much of its green spaces, offering a rare balance of city living and access to nature. Today, Hainault remains an attractive place for those seeking a peaceful, suburban lifestyle while still being well-connected to the bustling heart of the city.
