Block Management Hammersmith

Hammersmith'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.

"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 Hammersmith

Hammersmith, located in West London, has a rich history that dates back to its origins as a small Saxon settlement. The name "Hammersmith" is thought to derive from "hammer smithy," reflecting its early association with blacksmithing and metalwork. By the 13th century, it was recorded as "Hamersmyth," and over time, it grew into a thriving riverside community. During the 17th century, Hammersmith became a chapelry of Fulham, and its first parish church, St. Paul's, was built by Sir Nicholas Crispe. The area also gained prominence for its horticultural contributions, with the Vineyard Nursery introducing plants like the fuchsia and standard rose tree to England in the 18th century.

 

The 19th century marked a period of rapid development for Hammersmith, driven by industrialization and improved transport links, including the opening of the Hammersmith and City Railway in 1864. The area became a hub for commerce and culture, with landmarks like the Hammersmith Suspension Bridge and the Lyric Theatre enhancing its appeal. Hammersmith also played a role in London's artistic and literary scene, attracting notable residents such as William Morris, who lived at Kelmscott House. Today, Hammersmith is a vibrant district known for its blend of historical landmarks, cultural venues, and modern amenities.
