Block Management Hither Green

Hither Green'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 Hither Green

Hither Green, nestled in the London Borough of Lewisham, has a history shaped by rural beginnings and Victorian expansion. Originally part of the ancient parish of Lewisham, Hither Green was largely farmland and open fields until the late 19th century. The opening of Hither Green railway station in 1895 transformed the area, making Hither Green a desirable location for London commuters. Rapid development followed, with rows of Victorian and Edwardian houses defining the character of Hither Green. The area also became known for its green spaces, particularly Mountsfield Park and the tree-lined streets that still give Hither Green its village-like feel.

In the 20th century, Hither Green saw further change through suburban growth, wartime damage, and rebuilding efforts. A major event in Hither Green’s history was the 1967 train crash, one of the UK’s worst rail disasters, which left a lasting mark on the community. Despite challenges, Hither Green has continued to evolve while maintaining its strong sense of identity. Today, Hither Green is a vibrant, diverse neighbourhood with a mix of independent shops, historic homes, and community spirit. With excellent transport links and a peaceful atmosphere, Hither Green remains one of southeast London’s most appealing and historically rich areas.
