Block Management Langley

Langley'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

"We received a prompt, personable and efficient service in respect of repairs from our Junior Property Manager, for which we are most grateful."

Marion Carr 126 days ago

"I received a letter from VirginLand, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions to engage with them. Their no-fee model for landowners is exceptional, and the team worked well to understand the unique aspects of my land. They provided insightful planning advice and identified the best development potential for my property. The process was smooth and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend VirginLand for any landowner looking to maximise their land’s value without the hassle of traditional brokerage fees."

"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 Langley

Langley, Berkshire, is situated 19 miles west of central London. Its name originates from two Middle English words: langmeaning long and leah,a wood or clearing. The village first consisted of names such as Middle Green, or George Green. 
The village remained much the same for many centuries. However, major developments took place in the 20th century: the Hawker Aircraft Company bought Parlaunt Farm at Langley in 1938, and built a major factory and airfield there. Over 9,000 military aircraft were manufactured at the site, especially the Hurricane, and also the Tempest and Sea Fury, during World War II (1939-1945).
The Ford Motor Company opened a commercial vehicle component factory at Langley Airfield in 1949, and bought the entire site from Hawker Siddeley 1959. The previous aircraft factory was re-used for commercial vehicle manufacture, and the Ford Transit was created here.
The factory site was demolished in 1998, and has since been redeveloped, with new housing, offices and warehouses, including Royal Mail's International Mail Centre, which services Heathrow Airport, nearby.
