Block Management Hastings

Hastings'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.

"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 170 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 Hastings

Hastings’ history is most famously marked by the Battle of Hastings in 1066, a pivotal moment in English history where William the Conqueror defeated King Harold II, leading to the Norman Conquest of England. The town's development as a port began shortly after, thriving through its maritime industry. Over the centuries, Hastings grew as a hub for trade, fishing, and tourism, becoming an increasingly popular seaside resort during the Victorian era with the advent of the railway. It was during this time that Hastings began to flourish as a destination for wealthy Victorians seeking the fresh air and scenic views of the coast.

In the 20th century, Hastings continued to evolve with a growing population and a modernizing town center. Despite significant bombing during World War II, the town preserved many of its historical buildings, and restoration projects in the following decades helped maintain its cultural heritage. Today, Hastings is a blend of old and new, with a strong sense of community, a burgeoning art scene, and a focus on preserving the rich history that defines the town.
