Block Management Harrow on the Hill

Harrow on the Hill'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'.

Pranika Batra 47 days ago

"The advisor has been amazing throughout my tenure at Anaconda. The events she organises are excellent and communications when there are issues (if any by the way) within the flat are top notch and I highly recommend anyone who moves in to anaconda to communicate with her"

Josh Ozdemir 136 days ago

"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 Harrow on the Hill

Harrow on the Hill boasts a rich history that stretches back to the medieval period, with its roots deeply embedded in the region’s past. Originally part of the Harrow Manor, the area began to gain prominence in the 14th century, but it was the establishment of Harrow School in 1572 by the local priest, John Lyon, that truly marked a turning point in the district's development. The school quickly rose to become one of the most prestigious and influential educational institutions in the country, and its presence has played a major role in shaping the area’s identity. The historic architecture of the area, including notable landmarks such as the Harrow School Chapel and St. Mary's Church, reflects this rich heritage, with buildings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

Over the centuries, Harrow on the Hill evolved from a small rural village into a vibrant suburban district, particularly during the Victorian era when the arrival of the railway made the area more accessible. The growth of nearby areas contributed to the expansion, but despite these changes, Harrow on the Hill has retained much of its historical charm. Its cobbled streets, historic buildings, and open green spaces provide a glimpse into its past, while also offering a peaceful, village-like atmosphere that continues to attract both residents and visitors. Today, the district remains a unique blend of history and modernity, with its heritage preserved amid the evolving landscape of suburban life.
