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.

"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."

Hammersmith - Cultural Scene

History of Hammersmith

Hammersmith is part of west London, 4.3 miles south-west of Charing Cross. Its name went through several stages, and is thought to derive from "(Place with) a hammer smithy or forge". The first spelling is Hamersmyth in 1294; then Hameresmithe in 1312, Hamyrsmyth in 1535, and Hammersmith in 1675. 
In 1745, two Scots, James Lee and Lewis Kennedy, set up the Vineyard Nursery. This was over six acres, and was dedicated to landscaping plants. Since then, many plants were introduced, including fuchshia and rose tree.
In 1868, Hammersmith was the official name of the parish, originally in the county of Middlesex. Industrial developments included the Osram lamp factory at Brook Green, and the J. Lyons food factory. During both World Wars, Waring & Gillow's furniture factory, became the site of aircraft manufacture.

It encourages the re-publication of Morris's works, and the continued manufacture of his textile and wallpaper designs. Membership of the Society is open to all.
