Block Management Lea Bridge

Lea Bridge'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.

History of Lea Bridge

Lea Bridge, located in East London, has a long history shaped by its position along the River Lea. The bridge itself was built in the mid-18th century, acting as a vital crossing point for travel and trade. Originally a rural area, the district began to develop during the Victorian era, with the construction of housing and industrial facilities. This expansion was further accelerated by the arrival of the railway, which turned Lea Bridge into a key transportation link in the region. Over time, the area transformed, blending residential and industrial developments with green spaces.

Today, Lea Bridge remains a mix of modern living and historical charm. Its proximity to the Lee Valley Regional Park offers a peaceful natural environment, contrasting with the surrounding urban landscape. While the area has embraced new developments, it still reflects its historical roots, maintaining a connection to its past while adapting to the needs of modern life. The area is an example of how East London has evolved over the centuries, combining industry, housing, and green spaces to create a vibrant community.
