Block Management Hornchurch

Hornchurch '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 Hornchurch

Hornchurch’s history dates back to the Saxon period, with its name believed to be derived from the Old English “horn” (meaning “a corner” or “angle”) and “ceorc” (meaning “a church” or “a place of worship”), possibly referring to a church situated in a bend of the River Ingrebourne. The area remained largely rural and agricultural until the 19th century, with Hornchurch primarily known for its farming communities. The development of the area began in earnest during the industrial revolution, and Hornchurch’s position near London made it an attractive place for suburban development.

In the 20th century, particularly after World War II, Hornchurch experienced significant growth, transforming from a small rural village into a bustling suburban town. The construction of new housing estates, along with the opening of the Hornchurch railway station, made the area more accessible to commuters traveling to London. Today, Hornchurch, located within the London Borough of Havering, is a thriving residential area known for its mix of historic buildings, such as the Grade II-listed St. Andrew’s Church, and modern amenities. The town retains a strong community spirit, with several parks, including Hornchurch Country Park, offering green spaces for residents. Its proximity to both nature and transport links to central London makes Hornchurch a desirable location for families and professionals.
