Block Management Hampshire

Hampshire'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

"We have lived at Prospect Place for over 15 years now and for the first time in all these years we can truly say the help, advice and knowledge that we have received from the head of the region, he has been outstanding. For the last several years we have endured the horrendous cladding situation which has caused so much stress and upset beyond words can convey, however, he has been by far our go-to person for any help that we have needed. His dedication to the job goes beyond the norm and for that we would like to thank you. Whilst we are aware that you are moving onto pastures new, we truly wish you all the best on your new adventure. We will truly miss you and all the help that you have given. Thank you again Richard"

"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."

"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 Hampshire

Hampshire, located in southern England, has a rich and diverse history that spans thousands of years. The region was first settled during the Neolithic period, with evidence of early farming communities and hill forts such as Winklebury. During the Roman invasion of Britain, Hampshire was among the first areas to fall under Roman control, becoming an important part of their network with towns like Venta Belgarum (modern-day Winchester). After the Romans, the area was settled by Jutish tribes, who established small kingdoms before being absorbed into the Saxon Kingdom of Wessex. Winchester became the capital of Wessex and later a significant city in early medieval England, with many Saxon kings buried there.

 

The Norman Conquest brought further changes to Hampshire, with the establishment of the New Forest as a royal hunting ground by William the Conqueror. The county's strategic location along the coast made it a key area for defense and trade, with historic ports like Southampton and Portsmouth playing vital roles. Over the centuries, Hampshire has been a center for maritime activity, including the departure of the Mayflower and the Titanic. Its rich history is reflected in its many castles, historic towns, and cultural landmarks.
