Block Management Hornsey

Hornsey'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.


Block Management Reviews

"Five stars"

Cameron Brownsell 57 days ago

"The relationship manager for my block at GMV, provided invaluable assistance in clarifying the recent service charge bills and correspondence. The documents were presented in a format that was difficult to comprehend, leaving ambiguity regarding the demands and deductions made by DD. Susi went above and beyond to understand the issue, ensuring that the information she conveyed was both accurate and clear. Her professionalism and exceptional interpersonal skills were evident throughout our interactions, and I highly commend her for her outstanding service."

"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 Hornsey

Hornsey, located in North London, has a long and intriguing history that highlights its transformation over the centuries. The name "Hornsey" is believed to come from the Old English "Heringes-hege," meaning "Hering’s enclosure." Originally, Hornsey was a small village surrounded by forests and open countryside, forming part of the parish of Hornsey within the county of Middlesex. The rural nature of Hornsey allowed it to maintain its quiet charm until the 19th century, when the arrival of the Great Northern Railway changed Hornsey forever. As transport links improved, more people began to settle in Hornsey, allowing Hornsey to expand into a lively suburban area.

During the Victorian period, Hornsey developed rapidly, with Hornsey High Street becoming the centre of community life. By the early 20th century, Hornsey was known for its mix of residential streets, green spaces, and local industries, shaping Hornsey into a diverse and thriving community. Hornsey Town Hall, built in 1935, became a symbol of civic pride for Hornsey, representing its growth and ambition. Today, Hornsey is part of the London Borough of Haringey and is known for its excellent transport links, independent shops, and welcoming community feel.
