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.

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.

Culture in Lea Bridge

History of Lea Bridge
  • Early Origins: Lea Bridge takes its name from the River Lea, which has been a vital waterway for thousands of years, used for transport and trade. The area was largely rural until the 19th century.

  • Industrial Development: In the 1800s, Lea Bridge became part of the industrial expansion in East London. Mills, factories, and warehouses were built along the river, marking the start of urban growth.

  • Victorian Era: By the late 19th century, the area developed as a working-class neighborhood, with terraced houses and industrial buildings. The construction of the Lea Bridge Railway Station in 1840 helped link the area to central London, accelerating its growth.

  • Post-War Changes: After WWII, like much of East London, Lea Bridge saw significant changes. Many factories closed, and the area became more residential. There was some decline in the area’s infrastructure and buildings.

  • Recent Regeneration: In the 21st century, Lea Bridge has undergone significant urban renewal. The reopening of Lea Bridge Station in 2016 marked a new chapter in improving transport links and revitalizing the area.

  • Modern Day: Today, Lea Bridge is a dynamic, evolving area, blending historical heritage with new developments and green spaces.
