Block Management High Barnet

High Barnet '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."

History of High Barnet

High Barnet is a suburban market town located in north London, in the borough of Barnet, about 10.2 miles from central London. The name "Barnet" is derived from the Old English word "baernet," meaning "the land cleared by burning," referring to the deforestation of an area once densely covered by woods. The town's name was recorded as Barneto around 1070 and evolved through various forms, including Barnet in 1197 and La Barnette in 1248. In Saxon times, the area was part of the large wood known as Southaw, which belonged to the Abbey of St. Albans. High Barnet, located at an elevated position, was also historically referred to as "Chipping Barnet" due to its role as the location of the traditional market, granted by King John in 1199.

High Barnet's historical significance includes the Battle of Barnet in 1471, a key engagement in the Wars of the Roses, where Yorkist forces, led by King Edward IV, defeated the forces of Richard Neville, the "Kingmaker." In the 19th century, the arrival of the Great Northern Railway, with High Barnet station opening in 1872, marked the beginning of suburban development. The area grew rapidly in the 1920s and 1930s, with further restrictions on expansion after World War II due to green belt legislation. High Barnet, which was part of Hertfordshire until 1965, became part of Greater London and the London Borough of Barnet. Over the years, High Barnet has grown into a well-connected and populated area, contributing to the broader development of north London.
