Block Management Hillingdon

Hillingdon'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 Hillingdon

Hillingdon, situated in the westernmost part of Greater London, boasts a long and varied history dating back to Saxon times. The name Hillingdon itself appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Hillendone," a reflection of its early roots. Over the centuries, Hillingdon grew from a rural parish into a vital junction between London and the west of England. Hillingdon was historically part of Middlesex until the reorganisation of London governance in 1965, when it became one of the boroughs of Greater London. Hillingdon’s blend of agricultural land and growing settlements made it a strategic location for both travel and trade routes.

In the 20th century, Hillingdon experienced rapid suburbanisation, spurred by the expansion of the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, bringing in commuters and new developments. Modern-day Hillingdon is home to London Heathrow Airport, making Hillingdon one of the most internationally connected areas in the UK. The borough of Hillingdon also includes key areas such as Uxbridge, Ruislip, and Hayes, all of which contribute to the cultural and economic diversity of Hillingdon. From ancient woodland and manor estates to modern transport hubs, Hillingdon continues to evolve while retaining a strong sense of historical identity.
