Block Management Hertford East

Hertford East'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 Hertford East

Hertford East, located in Hertfordshire, is a historic town situated 20 miles north of central London. The town's origins date back to Saxon times, with its early settlement established along the River Lea. Following the Norman Conquest, Hertford Castle was constructed and remained a royal residence until the early 17th century. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, during the reign of King William I, Hertford was one of the largest settlements in the country, playing a significant role in the local landscape.

The town's growth accelerated in the 18th century, becoming a key market and county town. Infrastructure improvements, such as the construction of the Lea Navigation Canal in 1767, and the arrival of the railway in 1843, helped enhance communication and trade. Hertford East railway station, built in 1888, replaced the original station and facilitated further expansion. Although initially constrained by its agricultural surroundings, Hertford's development soared during the late 19th century with better transport links, the introduction of electricity and gas, and the growth of industry. Today, Hertford remains a thriving town, balancing its rich history with modern growth and amenities.
