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.

"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."

Hertford East - Cultural Scene

History of Hertford East

Hertford East, in Hertfordshire, is situated 20 miles north of central London. Hertford was originally a settlement in Saxon times, on the River Lea. Shortly after the Norman Conquest, Hertford Castle was built, and remained a royal residence, until the early 17th century. In the Domesday Book, published in 1086, during the period of King William I, "The Conqueror", (r. 1066-1087), Hertford is shown as the largest 20% of settlements recorded. 
In the 18th century, Hertford grew and developed as a market and county town. Communication was improved as a result of the construction of the Lea Navigation Canal in 1767, and the development of the railway at Hertford, in 1843. Hertford East railway station was built in 1888, and it replaced the first one, built in 1843. 
Because Hertford was surrounded by agricultural estates, it had been unable to expand outwards, and had to be expanded upwards by adding storeys to existing buildings. The outward expansion of the town did not begin until the late 19th century, coinciding with the emergence of the railway; thus transport links to London improved. Electricity and gas were introduced, and industry grew. Hertford remains a thriving, popular and rapidly expanding town.
