Block Management Harrow

Harrow'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.

History of Harrow

Harrow, located in northwest London, has a long and rich history that dates back to Saxon times. The name "Harrow" comes from the Old English "hearg," meaning a heathen temple, suggesting the area may have been a site of pagan worship before the arrival of Christianity. Harrow-on-the-Hill, the historic heart of the area, became an important religious site with the establishment of St Mary’s Church in the 11th century. The area remained largely rural for centuries and gained prominence in the 16th century with the founding of Harrow School in 1572, one of the UK’s most prestigious independent schools.

The arrival of the railway in the 19th century transformed Harrow from a quiet hilltop village into a thriving suburban town. New housing developments spread across the surrounding areas, accommodating commuters and families drawn to its green spaces and strong educational reputation. In 1965, Harrow became an official London borough, combining historical charm with modern urban growth. Today, Harrow is known for its cultural diversity, historic architecture, and strong sense of community, while Harrow School and Harrow-on-the-Hill continue to reflect its distinguished heritage.
