Block Management Knightsbridge

Knightsbridge'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.

History of Knightsbridge

Knightsbridge, located in the heart of Central London, has a history intertwined with both royalty and the development of London as a global city. The area’s name originates from the medieval Knights of St. John, who once owned land in the area and crossed the River Westbourne using a bridge that eventually became known as Knightsbridge. By the 19th century, the area began to develop into a fashionable residential district, with grand houses and mansions that attracted the wealthiest citizens. This was further boosted with the opening of Harrods in 1849, cementing Knightsbridge as a luxury shopping and residential area.

In the 20th century, Knightsbridge solidified its position as one of the most prestigious areas in London. Over time, it evolved into a fashionable neighborhood known for its elite clientele, luxury hotels, and high-end retail stores. Its proximity to Hyde Park, combined with its royal connections and exclusive residential properties, made it one of the most sought-after addresses in London. Today, Knightsbridge is synonymous with luxury, attracting international visitors and residents alike.
