Block Management Lewisham

Lewisham'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

"I spoke to a member of the property management team and he was so helpful .He guided me through and explained a number of issues and details that was not clear to me on the calculations of the service charge ."

Hamatalla Mohamed 111 days ago

"The village manager and the maintenance engineer provided surprisingly good service when I had an issue here on my estate in Greenwich. They responded quickly, popped round the next day and sorted my issue. The maintenance engineer also explained how everything worked and what I needed to do going forward. I wish all engineers were this good."

Henry M 147 days ago

"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 Lewisham

Lewisham, located in southeast London, has a history dating back to Saxon times, with its name derived from the Old English "Levesham," meaning "house among the meadows." The first written reference to Lewisham appeared in a 862 charter that outlined its boundaries with Bromley. In the medieval period, Lewisham became an important settlement at the confluence of the Quaggy and Ravensbourne rivers, which provided vital resources. Notably, King Alfred the Great was once Lord of the Manor of Lewisham, a title commemorated by a plaque in Lewisham Library. By the 10th century, the manor was gifted to Saint Peter's Abbey in Ghent, marking its significance in religious history.

Lewisham continued to develop through the centuries, with significant changes in the 17th century, including the founding of Colfe's School by Abraham Colfe, the vicar of Lewisham. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century transformed the area into a bustling suburban hub, attracting new residents and businesses. Despite challenges, including wartime damage, Lewisham bounced back in the 20th century with post-war redevelopment, modern housing, and the establishment of cultural institutions like the Lewisham Art House. Today, Lewisham is a vibrant area blending historical landmarks, such as St. Mary's Church and the Horniman Museum, with a thriving cultural scene.
